LKG stands for Lower Kindergarten and UKG for Upper Kindergarten — the two pre-primary years many Indian schools run before Class 1, usually for children around ages three to five. They follow a nursery or playgroup year and focus on early literacy, numeracy and school readiness through play. Under NEP 2020 these early years sit within the new foundational stage.

Pre-primary admissions are often a school's highest-volume, earliest intake, with anxious parents enquiring across LKG, UKG and nursery at once. Capturing each enquiry by the year applied for, with the family's details kept, is exactly what an admissions pipeline is built to do.
