RTE Gujarat Round 3 admissions begin: Check direct link to apply here

Gujarat RTE admissions 2025 : The Gujarat Education Department has initiated the third round of admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act 2025, starting June 2, after more than 9,000 seats remained unclaimed in unaided private schools across the state. Despite the programme’s goal of expanding access to quality education for disadvantaged students, English-medium schools—often considered the most aspirational by urban families—have reported the highest number of vacant seats.

According to the latest data, 9,157 RTE seats are still available after two rounds of allotments. Of these, 5,263 are in English-medium schools, accounting for nearly 60% of all unfilled positions. The remaining vacancies are distributed across other mediums: 1,920 in Hindi, 1,800 in Gujarati, 105 in Odia, 39 in Urdu, and 30 in Marathi schools.

Only those applicants who were not allotted a seat in Round 1 or 2 are eligible for the third round. No fresh applications or modifications to previously selected school preferences will be accepted.

Despite a robust response in the initial phase, a considerable number of families have not proceeded with confirming admissions, especially in English-medium schools. Education officials suggest this may reflect hesitation among economically weaker families in enrolling their children in high-demand institutions due to social, financial, or cultural concerns, even with government reimbursement under the RTE framework.
