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.

Supreme Court takes suo motu cognizance of Karnataka HC Judge's controversial remarks, seeks report
New Delhi: The Supreme Court, on September 20, took suo motu cognizance of video clips containing controversial remarks made by Justice Vedavyasachar Srishananda of the Karnataka High Court. A five-judge bench, led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and comprising Justices Sanjiv Khanna, BR Gavai, Surya Kant, and Hrishikesh Roy, has ordered a report from the Karnataka High Court.
The decision follows two videos that surfaced on social media, showing Justice Srishananda referring to an area in Bengaluru as "Pakistan" and making objectionable comments toward a woman advocate during hearings. The Court directed the Registrar General of the Karnataka High Court to submit a report after consulting the Chief Justice of the Karnataka High Court. The matter will be further examined on Monday.
Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasised the responsibility of judges in the age of social media, stating, "We are closely watched, and we have to act accordingly."
The comments have drawn widespread criticism, including from prominent lawyers, after the video went viral on social media.
