Age Calculator for School Admission
Enter the child's date of birth and the date the school is measuring age against (its admission cut-off date), and get the exact age in years, months and days — calculated with calendar-accurate maths, not a rough estimate.

FAQs
What "as on" date should I use?
Use the exact cut-off date printed in the school's own admission notice or your state's RTE age-eligibility circular for that academic year — schools and states use different cut-off dates (commonly 31 March or 1 April), so always confirm the specific date with the school you're applying to rather than assuming one.
Why does the age show in years, months and days instead of just years?
Most admission criteria specify a minimum age like "5 years as on 31 March", where a child even a few days short can be ineligible — showing the precise years, months and days makes it clear exactly how close to (or far from) the cut-off a child is.
Does this calculator account for leap years?
Yes — the calculation looks up the real number of days in each specific month and year involved (including leap February), so the result is exact regardless of how many leap years fall between the two dates.
