Questions and instructions

Interviewer instructions

Age at entry at school is the age in completed years, at which the person started attending the primary level
class. This generally will be the age at which the child is admitted to class I. In many states, there is a
minimum age prescribed for admission to class I. However, the age is to be recorded as ascertained from the informant. Moreover, if a person is admitted for the first time at a higher class in the primary level then the age at that entry should be recorded.
