I think there is a typographical mistake in the calculation of the age limit for admission to pre-nursery classes. The age should be between 2 to 3 years for admission to pre-nursery as mentioned in the article. So a kid born between 1 April 2019 and 31 March 2020 should be eligible for admission. But the figures shown within brackets are different in the article. Since the figures are very important here, I am mentioning this here.
