Yes and no. Schools where age is not a barrier he can repeat. Schools where age is fixed for a class will be difficult as anything online screens kids not falling in the age range of that particular class. So you may try to go and visit the schools of your choice and request them to let him repeat.

Hi Madhurie…
I came across your website today and found it quite interesting….
Here is my dilemma…
My son’s dob is aug 21, 2006. We are planning to R2I in april this year, which makes my son eligible for admission to Std 1. However, keeping in view his skills as of now, I really want him to repeat Ukg once he is back to India. Is it allowed?? again, even if a school allows it, if we have to change school next year…will he get admission in Std 1 or as per his age will have to go directly to Std 2?? Kindly help..
Thanks
