1. Admissions Process: The school is primarily intended for Indian children and follows the CBSE curriculum. To begin, the child must meet age requirements: a child must be three years old as of 31 March to be admitted to the Lower KG, and no child who has not completed five years will be considered for Class I; age rules are fixed for each class. An application for admission must be made on the prescribed form by a parent or guardian, who is responsible for the pupil's conduct, punctuality, regular attendance, progress, and payment of fees. The pupil may be given an oral or written test at the time of admission, and the decision of the school authorities regarding the entrance test is final. If the pupil is transferring from another school, a transfer certificate from the last attended school (duly countersigned by the educational officer of the area) must be produced. After the admission interview and intake, the school will issue the transfer certificate or other documents only after all school dues are settled and any school property loan is returned. For withdrawal, a written notice must be given at least one month in advance; otherwise, one month's fees are charged in lieu of notice.
There is no scholarship information published by the school. The admissions and fee pages describe fees and payment arrangements but do not describe any scholarship program or financial aid policy.
The site does not publish a waitlist or pool system. The published admissions guidance states that admission is granted on the basis of interaction with the relevant subject teachers, and the final decision on admission rests with the school authorities. There is no mention of a formal waitlist or pool process on the official admission materials.
