| Details |
BGSNPS (BalaGangadaranatha Swamiji National Public School) is founded by Pontiff His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Balagangadaranatha Swamiji of Adhichunchanagiri Math. Sri Adhichunchanagiri education trust is running over 350 educational institutions including medical and engineering colleges. Currently, the school is offering classes from pre-primary till 9th grade and follows the CBSE curriculum (Note by Zeeksha team - Not sure if the school is already affiliated / approved by CBSE, given that they are not offering the 10th grade yet, which we are surely they will do shortly. We will check with the school and update the same). The typical number of students per class seem to be about 25-30. BGSNPS is sponsored by Dr.K.P. Gopalakrishna Chairman, NPS group of institution. Reputed to be a great institution builder he has a legacy of nurturing learning schools of world-class standards. Sri. S.A. Nair, the Principal of BGSNPS is a President’s Awardee in 2002 and is the former Principal of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Malleswaram, Bangalore. He brings with him rich experience of 40 years symbolized by proficiency and innovation. It is interesting to see that the school has published the "selection criteria" that seems to be a point based system (http://www.bgsnps.com/eligibility.htm). It is definitely a welcome step to enable transparency in the admission process (though of course there is no way by which one can verify the same). FYI - The application form for admission can be downloaded from here: http://www.bgsnps.com/downloads.htm |

Comments
I as a parent happend to attend the jyotidaan function of BGS NPS where class X, the first batch were given a send off. It was a memmorable experience for both the students and the Parents. It was meticulously planned and organised function with ll its divine nature. Mahaswamiji's presence and other dignatories added the importance of the function. No other school, as far as I know, has arranged such a function for their students. Keep up the tradition and the value based program of BGS NPS. Principal deserves all appreciation for his commitment and involvement.
Other day BGS NPS organised sports day for the tiny tots. It started exactly at 9 am and closed at 11.30 am. The items presented by these Pre-primary students were very innovative and interesting for this age group.I congratulate the management and the teachers for their excellent performance. The March past of these children were enjoyed by all of us. same way all class wise items were of high standard. Keep Up the spirit BGS NPS.
Let me also add a few things about the school. It appears to be a new generation school.
Since few of my collegues are sending their kids to BGS NPS, I decided to visit the school and also sought their feedback about the teaching standard as well as the school culture. In general, their feedback was positive on the school with no adverse comments. I also liked the infrastructure of the school as well as the accessibility on the BG road. Hence I also joined the admission race in BGS NPS after submitting the form in early October. After a long wait, we were informed about the admission date in Dec first week.
I have completed the admission formalities in BGS NPS for my son for PP-1(pre primary) recently and here is my experience on the same. Our appointment with the principal was intimated to us by email with the timeslot of 10 AM to 12 Noon and we were there at 10 AM sharp. On approaching the reception, the receptionist sent the admission form to the principal while asking us to wait in the reception. Within 5 minutes, We were called into the Prinicipal room for the interaction session. The interaction lasted for around 10 minutes. The principal primarily focussed on our(me & my wife) education and where I work and also interacted with my son briefly. I felt that the interaction was meant for better understanding the background of the child rather than testing/interviewing the child or the parent. Then we were asked to pay the admission fee for confirming the admission.
In a nutshell, I can say that the interaction was a pleasant one and a stress free experience compared to what other schools are doing(where they test/interview the kid & parents). Also the principal is a a very nice gentleman from what I can see from the brief interaction with him. Througout the interaction, he ensured that my son is at ease by engaging him in the conversation and at times he also spoke to my son in our mother tongue.
We had applied to the school in early October and till now, I have had called the school atleast 10+ times and visited the school several times. And every time(on the phone as well as in the school campus), I found the admin people to be very cordial in answering my (anxious) calls/questions. In short, they were completely professional in handling the admission process.
Dear Parents,
I am trying my best to admit my daughter in BGSNPS for Nursery. Please can any one give me valuable feedback on the same.
like to know about BGS from parents who are sending their kids to this school, am
considering this school for my kids.
It is a mediocre school. There is nothing good or bad to talk about. On bad thing about the school is the high attrition rates and no teacher stays for long. Good thing about the school is unlike NPS it doesn't want to churn out robots who can score only 95% and above.
The school is yet to evolve and develop its USP along with a plethora of other schools mushrooming in this area. Hopefully the school will be able to capitalise on the BGS's wealth and make it different.

I cannot agree with Rumi. I am also a parent of that school since its beginning.I have a different openion about the school. The staff of the school is very professional and they take care of the students very well. Teachers are very good and they do their job very well.
some teachers are really dedicated , if your child is fortunate he or she will get the benefit....but some only come for easy job and pocket money...they leave the school when ever they feel like... beating kids is common by some short tempered teachers...don't they realize that kids loose confidence feel insulted,?? Don't they realize that teachers should be approachable and not scary??One good thing is school is also blessed with some very good teachers,but your child should be fortunate to get that section!
The good points about the school is good adminstartation. I agree that most of the teachers beat children , which can afftect the self confidence of the child , it is happening to my child . The general discipline in class rooms ,bus, playground is not friendly . Standard of corrections and Hindi teaching needs to be improved .
It is a common sight to see teacher commenting about a particular child infront of other children,which leaves a bad taste in the mind of the child .Hope teachers will be trained to give freedom to the child to express openly and treat boys and girls equally with out partiality towards girls !!!
Which class your kids are attending?. I am really surprised to hear that the teachers beat the children. I hope that these teachers don't beat the kids in pre-primary classes at least as they will be too young to understand. Also why do these teachers beat the kids?.Also what do you mean by "general discipline in class rooms ,bus, playground is not friendly "?
Since these issues are very sensitive issues, did you parents take up these issues to the principal so that these issues are addressed?. Let us hope the school management will take these feedback in good spirit. I strongly suggest that you take up these issues to the principal so that they try to train all their teachers in effective, child friendly ways to handle the children.
Hi,
I am a parent of BGS NPS. As far as discipline , I can say that it is better than any other schools. Children have the tendency to play ,joke in the bus. They enjoy the bus journey. You can not ask them to shut their mouth. Thy are active and they need the freedom to laugh,shout etc. That shouldnot be considered as indiscipline. Over all I rate this school as A plus.
