Following complaints from parents reporting delays in the admission procedures in the academic year 2023-24, the Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MSCPCR) has written to the Director of Education (Primary), seeking a detailed report on the same. The commission has also demanded information on remedial plans to expedite the admission process for the academic year 2024-25.

The Right of Child to Free and Compulsory Education Act or RTE Act mandates free education to 25 per cent of economically disadvantaged students in private schools. The RTE admission process, managed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation—which is a nodal for RTE admissions—through the RTE portal, usually concludes with a lottery system. The process, however, extended until August 2023 for the academic year 2023-24.
