Is your child 5.5 year old, then you can admit it to 1st std
Bengaluru, May 23: The Education Department has fixed the minimum age limit 5.5 years for admitting a child to the 1st standard in government, aided and unaided schools.
In its circular, the department has said that as per the earlier norms, a child should have been admitted to the 1st standard only after completing 5 years and 10 months. But the department has received a lot of complaints from parents and teachers. During 2015-16 and 2016-17, parents have admitted their children to LKG before completing the minimum age limit of 3 years and 10 months. IN view of this, the children who will not complete 5.10 years by the time of joining 1st standard, would not be eligible to take admission to the 1st standard.
Keeping this in mind, the department has relaxed the age limit and reduced it to 5.5 years, which is applicable only for 2017-18 academic year, stated in the circular.

PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer fined for slow over rate vs CSK
Chennai (PTI): Punjab Kings skipper Shreyas Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh for maintaining a slow over-rate during his team’s IPL 2026 match against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here.
The last season's runners-up PBKS secured their second sucessive win, defeating five-time champions Chennai Super Kings by five wickets here on Friday.
As this was Punjab Kings’ second offence of the season under Article 2.22 of the IPL Code of Conduct, which relates to minimum over-rate violations, the penalty was enhanced and Iyer was fined Rs 24 lakh, said the IPL media advisory.
"The rest of the members of the Playing XI, including the Impact Player, will be fined either INR six lakhs or 25 per cent of their respective match fees, whichever is lesser," it added.
