The District Education Office has expressed its displeasure over recognised private schools in Patna failing to upload the number of allocated seats for Class One on the Education Department's Gyandeep Portal under the Right to Education Act (RTE). In Patna, there are a total of 1,315 recognised private schools, of which 393 have shared information on the number of designated seats in Class One on the Gyandeep Portal.
The cases of 2 schools have been kept pending. Out of the 1,315, 922 recognised private schools, have not shared the number of allocated seats for Class One on the Gyandeep Portal. District Programme Officer Kritika Verma has given these schools a final opportunity to share the information within 24 hours.

It has also been directed that disciplinary action will be taken against schools that do not share the information on the portal. Registration of children on the Gyandeep Portal will be open until January 31. Under the RTE, 25 per cent of the designated seats in Class One at recognised schools are for the admission of children from weaker sections and disadvantaged groups.
The online application process for this on the Gyandeep Portal has been ongoing since January 2. The last date for applications is January 31. Based on the applications received, verification of registered children will be carried out by February 2.
