Comments
My daughter is will be completing 2 years and 3 months on 23 May 2011. Want to check that whether she will be eligible for admission in NPS rajajinagar in montessori for the session 2011-12.
Is it true that NPS admission are based on Parent's salary and that too should be above 25 lacs to get a call ?
True to some extent, but the actual cut off is much higher than tht i thnk and it also depends on the parents' credentials.
Hi!
I am scouting for a good school for my daughter.
NPS is the closest to my house plus have heard really good reviews about the school. However I also hear that it is only academics oriented and very little focus on other things.
Please let me know how far this is true.
Thank you
I fail to understand the craziness of the parents to get an admission in NPS. I find nothing special in this school. They admit the cream and students go for special coaching and get into some professional collages. In fact there is no worth mentioning special contribution from the teachers of this school.I request the parents not to be carried away by the name. Think thrice before you admit your ward to these schools.
All institutions in our country at any level admit the cream provided they get it.
Next we would be saying why do the IITs /AIIMS have an entrance test at all.
Let them take average students and ask their professors to groom them.
It is only then we would give credit to these institutions.
And anyway if you have an admission test you will hv to take the students who top the test you cannot say I would prefer to take the weaker ones.
The first step towards education is the school; hence there shud not be any bias here. Your point of IIT comes at a later stage, after school. Hence, they may afford to take the cream. However, the primary stage of schooling shud be common. After IITs comes Corpoartes, Office; here again you can prefer the cream. Here the people opting are matured, has gained knowledge. But children seeking school are young, innocent and new. They are yet to understand the world, the educational aspect. Thus here, there shud not be ANY SPECIAL preferences, memos, rejections etc
Good Luck
Without rejections you would see most students trying to study in just 2-3 schools, which is not practically possible.
And a lottery kind of a system is also not the best option.
Thanks
Your fundamental point is valid.
Having said that, do you know of any other institution in the world that does not want to admit top students? Of course, every one does that. And, it is also a given that if you want to crack IIT - there is absolutely no option but to go for intense special coaching classes. Even the #1 JEE ranker will say that - and of course the school can't do much about that.
At the end of the day, IMO, what matters most is - does your kid have friends/peers that reflect your values that matters to you. If the school furthers that it's great - but given how things are - as long as the school does not hinder that - that is sufficient.
Lastly - the reason why people still clamor for NPS is - "History / Track record of having delivered". Most of the schools out there are new (and bulk of them are started by real estate guys). So - what are you going to do? You obviously go for track record.
Good luck!!
When my child got admission to the the school, i was happy for her. But the recent happenings in the school make me wonder about my child's future - was it the right decision ? A typical benchmark from my perspective is the number of students getting admitted to the IITs. The record has been really dismal - very few students make it & that too they get only the "left-over" departments.
And what happened today, really took the cake ! the school organized a "music day" today. The teachers made the children practice for the last 4 months, wasting the precious teaching time / class hours every day & with no intention of making up for these lost hours. The school wanted to make this a mega publicity event, & is least bothered about the future of the children. And, as expected, the incompetent teachers mis-managed it & made a laughing stock of themselves. But the bigger concern is the uncaring & rude behaviours of teachers like Madam A & Madam U. Another teacher threatened to hit a child ....
If this is the role models that children are having around them, then God help us.
Another recent trend is organizing events ((e.g. picnics) for the children & extracting exorbitant amount of money from the children. This is another way of generating revenue, instead of raising the school fees !! Then, the children are coerced to buy these photos for Rs 50 each !! Is this ethical ? What values are they teaching to the children ?
IIT coaching depends on a child's personal interest and if the school started grooming kids for IITs you would have more people cribbing about an intense academic environment.
It is more about the discipline and values they instill. Kids like that will ultimately do well in life.
I thnk non-academics like music days are important.
The picnics are not at all mandatory.
Most important if somebody doesnt't like the school there is always an option of taking out the kid, but it is interesting to note tht nobody does tht if given an option.
Well we are taking our child out of the school at the end of this academic session - it does not matter if the school gives an option or not. We should refrain from making generic statements, such as no parents take out their kids, without knowing the facts.
It appears NPS has its own definition of what is meant by kids doing well - it is no coincidence that academic results reflect that e.g. very average IIT ranks.
Right thing to do since u r not happy, please let me kno were u asked to withdraw ur child or are u getting transferred?I hv heard of people being asked to withdraw. if not which school are u putting ur kid in? Do kids do better there academically or otherwise?
One mother i knew of would complain because it seems the teachers were not happy since he could not write properly. He was in ukg.
On a different note: now academic orietated studies will not be good for a child to survive in rapid changing world in next 10-20 years.
see this article:
http://www.jimcarroll.com/blog/industry-education/
anony: thanks for the link. some really good points there.
While in the past, the focus may have been on imparting knowledge - now it is available (well most of it at least) - at the click of the mouse. So, the process or the ability to learn and unlearn what matters is may be a key skill that kids have to learn. Having said that, I believe there are certain fundamental traits that will remain the same independent of the approach - rigor / discipline / focus etc. will continue to be important. As long as the schools / education system understands this and operates from that principle it will be good.
Will be interesting to see how the system changes over time (around the world actually).
Do schools like NPS and Sishu Griha have any rules to takes children from different board for 1'st/2'nd std ? I want to know if anybody has come across any case where child was not given admission for 1'st/2'nd std just because (s)he was from different board.
Though I assume that for primary classes it should not matter but I want to know if any parent has ever faced any such issue
I know Dr. GK just listen to very high level of approach ( I have see CM recommandation) but would to know from people if they have any idea whom does he listen to ?
does anyone know when the interviews are. will there be any names put up of the children who got in. My son has not got a call yet. so i think he may have not got through.
I called up sometime back to check abt the admissions for KG1 and was told it got over on Dec 23 itself! :(
Hi,
We got a call from NPS Indiranagar for Mont I interview.
I am surprised that you got a call after 23'rd as far as admission are concerned, they were complete on 23'rd though sasken admission were left. R u from sasken quota or some high approach ?
yes, we got the seat through Sasken quota.
when is your interview for Mont-1? when did you get the call?
We got the call on 5th Jan to come for one to one discussion on Friday.
We have met Principal and paid the fees on Friday.
Hi,
I stay with-in a radius of 1km for NPS indirnagar and had applied for KG-1 admission for y daughter, but unfortunatley i did not get a call. I called up the reception and the response i get is all seats are filled by siblings.
Folks in this forum who have got the admissions can you please let me know what might the edge other than siblings which has got you the admission.
I feel i was a strong contender with all good criteria
Its like cracking and puzzle or mystery on the criteria used for the selections.
Regards
Amir
Why people are running after NPS ? I heard It's pressure cooker environment for Kid, They put lot's of pressure on academics only, and If kids get below A+ for 2 - 3 timnes, They will ask to leave. What is teh point in going for such school.
NOw we all know that Gangulay committe is recomanding that no exam till class 5th and no school bags to bring back home till 5th Class. Then these kind of school will not succedd. I my self have studied in acemedic pressure environmnrt , today I think I could have put effort in other area and activities also.
Gear school look boit innovative n different. I know typical Desi parents may not agree with my ideas. GO n watch 3 Idiots and then decide :)
Hi Kam,
I would like to differ from what you said.
It might have its own negatives but I dont feel it is as bad as people make it sound in these forums.
There is hardly any pressure on the kids till the 7th standard.
At the preprimary level you just have a once a week 10 min homework , i guess which is to help parents understand what is happening in school.
After standard 1 too the kids are prepared in school for the tests that are taken.
The teachers are all also very nice.
There are a lot of nonacademic activities to groom a child's personality and extra hobby clases. Due to lack of space they cannot provide too many sports facilities but they do encourage children to take part.
In every school there is a always a bottom 10-15% who do not do well and in every school parents of such kids are called at regular intervals so that both the school and the family environment can help the child do better.
Probably if you go around asking parents of kids in NPS it is only the ones whose kids are doing really bad make all the noise. The others would all be happy .
As for the selection criterion it may be wrong or right but whatever he criterion is if you have thousands of parents applying for just 30 or 50 seats most of the people would obviously not get selected and be unhappy. Nobody would ever by happy with the criterion because most people would always miss out. And for that matter not many good schools make their criterion known.
Thanks and sorry if I have hurt anybody.
another point- after 10, 12 years when our child will be ready to choose their desired field, I wonder will only acadamic orietated studies will be enough. Today also we can see that smart kids are those who are all rounder so I guess we need schools which gives importance to other activities also apart from studies. we need school which can teach children understand concept throughly and thus securing A+ rather than mugging up and securing A+.
I am disagrreing to your point of 3 idiots as Amir khan used to solve 10'th std. maths in 6'th std apart from topping the class. so he was anyway extra-ordinary. Those who fall into that category will go good where ever they are, but you still need to groom intelligent and avarage student.
Are they doing admissions for 2010-11 or 2011-12 batch (Montessori).
Amir...
initially i was crazy abt getting my child admitted in NPS indrgr. but eventually i changd my mind for follow reasons
1. it is only academics there
2. if child doesnot perform at A+ level, after 3 memos child will be asked to leave - no ownership by the school
am not writing this bcos i didnot get admission, it is bcos i didnot seek admission.
there are really other good schools that give importance to other skillsets as well
all the best
You are right, its mainly a hype and few people who look at their result in the reception which would be manly A+ but they fail to realise that school would have already asked non-performer ( below 85%) to leave.
Ms. Right, can u name these other schools that u spoke about? thanks in advance
Other good schools I was refering to are Shishugriha, Vibgyor. Otherwise even small Montessori Schools like Prerana are good following dedicated montessori method.
FYI, Vibgyor is not following montessori.
yups...am aware that vibgyor is not follow mont. that way even NPS doesnot follow though they may claim so. some schools have all the mont materials however they dont follow.
i was mentioning in general that vibgyor seems to be good!
as my child is being taught writing letters in sand, air which is mont. method.
Yes as you said, they seem to follow mixed methodologies. I feel this is ok rather than the 'PRESSURE' put on the child on academics alone.
In general I wud like to say 'There are 2 kind of parents. One who is ONLY for academics and one who seeks balanced streams. There is nothing right or wrong. It is the parents choice for the child. The first category will be crazy abt NPS while the second will be totally not for it.
Parents, you all think yourselves as child and then take a call!
GEAR is one such good school you should consider if looking for montessori
Thanks
Came to know this through other sources and sharing in this forum,
GEAR New campus CGCLS ( Confident - GEAR Creative Leadership School ) is coming up in Sarjapur and starting with academic year 2010.

We got admission for our son yesterday in NPS Indiranagar montessori. Interview with parents was mere a formality. Interacting with school management and receptionist was very nice experience.
Could u pls let me know the selection criteria for montesseri.I have applied for my son in HSR branch.
What are the criterias they have considered for selection.Parents who got admission pls let us know so that we can have little hope.
NPS indiranagar LKG admissions are over on 19-DEC-09
Well, true and false. The calls were made on Friday 19th and the interviews were done on Monday and hence closed on Monday and for some who did not have a draft ready immediately, will be closed today.
At least this is what happened with us. I received a call on Friday intimating a time on Monday, where they were a lot of anxious looking parents. Found out that they had a lot of Interviews scheduled in the day. 15 minutes per ward, maybe even lesser (could be 2 in the same slot), which means in 8 hours, they could have completed the 60 for KG1.
I heard gathered that the Montessori (30 wards) were indeed closed for the year already, but was different for the Sasken branch (for which the calls would still be before 24th, as the school closes for Christmas).
Bottom-line, for all anxious parents it has got to be before the 23rd or before, for this year's admissions.
I remember some one replying to one of my earlier post (either in NPS Indiranagar or in NPS Rajajinagar) that there is no interaction for NPS and they just call and inform the parents that their kid is selected and will ask them to pay the fees. Looks like that was a false information. So looks like they do shortlist the application and call the kids for interaction.
Ramkumar,
Well, now one can say that the interaction is not the key but the call for the interaction itself is quite decisive. So what you heard is almost true in that respect. Unless the interaction is completely not as per their expectations, or if there is a case of incoherent data provided on the form. I would not like to take away that the interaction however is an element, as in retrospect we did feel the butterflies till we were actually told that, "admission is granted" by Mr. Gopalakrishnan.
I know another friend of ours who was called for an interview at Rajajinagar (also for this year).
The questions were very general and basic. There are no right / wrong responses (at least that you hope). It is about their selection for the call (IMHO).
I doubt about NPS having any interview for kids. Not sure about other branches but atleast in Rajajinagar, there was no interview for the child or the parents.
We just got a call that our child is selected and we have to pay the fee via DD on specific date and time. And no waiting time there too. We met the Chairman Gopalakrishna at the specified time and it was simple exchange of pleasantries. Like how we are planning to send the kid whether via school transport or private transport, who takes care of the kid at home, whether working parents would be able to give attention to the child or not ... such things.
Since the selection was already announced, the seat was not based on this interaction as such.
Does ur kid fall under sibling category?
Were most of the parents gathered there have an older child in the same school?
Hi Preeti, no, this was for our only daughter. So not under the 'sibling quota' (as some put it).
Hi Anon,
Thanks for the detailed information
Can you help me with few queries, on application filling
1) Parents should be working (Mother home maker or is working)
2) Which org you are working for (may be IT, PSU etc)
3) what salary bracket have you filled (Give a assumed number not true number)
4) which locality you stay (Indiranagar, Thippasandra etc)
This info will help other parents to atleast stand a chance or look for other school
Thanks,
Satish
Hey Satish, there is just way too much variance from the 8-10 parents I met on all those parameters. There is no one extrapolation that i could derive from it. But true, I had these same queries as you.
I think this would be best answered by the school really (which rhetorically they strictly do not entertain).
Anon, agreed each parent had a different version to my questions. Can you give what you had input in the admission application form. It will be an eye opener for all. Dont give correct numbers give some x digits. Atleast we would know what is expected at NPS. If you still cannot, dont understand the admission criteria :-)
Call Indi today and receptionist updated about this, LKG will follow soon, monday or next week.
r they giving the status of the application if we tell the child's name?
When NPS indiranagar is starting LKG admission.. did anyone get call from NPS INR? please update..
they have already started LKG admission since yesterday ( friday) and two person known to me have already got a call, though I am still waiting ...
I had made an application for the kg section for son in the month of october and was suppose to receive call by 30 nov but did not receive any call. I called NPS today and was informed that they have not yet processed the application and are likely to complete before 24-12-2009 or after 4-1-2010. If any one has received calls for kg admission please update.......... i think nps should update all the applicants about the status of the application ......... as all the parents are waiting to take a decision on the selection of the schools for their loved ones.......
When i called NPS(indiranagar) they said this year the admissions are given only to siblings.They are not going to call any outsiders for the Mont.
Its so sad after waiting for months , to see such response from school.
or they said this as always....Its not only this year, year after year they say that they will give admission to only siblings ..
I think they have no other option left unless they increase the number of seats in montessori or open new branches. BTW, does anyone know the total number of seats available in montessori in Indira Nagar, rajaji ngr, koramangala and hsr layout branches.
I heard that its only 30 in hsr layout. How about other branches?
like many of you, i too am waiting to hear from NPS asap, so that we can decide on some other school, if not NPS.
I wanted to know, how many of you are thinking of/ having a back up school (ie. where a huge chuck of fees already paid), say school B, if nps doesn't call. Should we pay the admn fees in school B, wait for nps to call. If we get a call from NPS, then decide whether to waste the money spent on school B and switch to NPS, or reluctantly carry on with school B.
If Mr. Gopalakrishna or the management of NPS is reading this, I PLEAD to him to do some justice to us parents by calling the selected candidates asap, as many of us are in the above mentioned dilemma. I understand that NPS is busy with their internal affairs and celebrations. But our problems too should not get overlooked. The money involved IS a substantial sum and is hard earned. So is the future of the kid's education.
We wait for NPS, we don't go for a backup school thinking of the money involved, and tomorrow if the kid is not selected by nps, what do we do?? So, NPS and Mr. Gopalakrishna, please do justice and call the selected ones asap.
Chances of getting seat in NPS are very bleak, if its not for sibling. I would suggest go for fall-back options as that is going to become primary school for almost all of us ( 99.9%).
Has NPS indiranagar started the LKG admission calls?
I heard that one of the parent got call from NPS Rajaji Nagar and were asked to pay DD Rs.74,250/-
Hey, did any one get a call for the interview from NPS indiranagar ? It seems they are delaying the process. Is it true?
Thanks.
We had applied and when we checked with the school, they said all seats have been filled by siblings. let us know if you get a call.
Montessori & KG admission are post pone to unknown date. This is mainly becoz NPS chairman is busy with venturing another new school at aboard. This I heard from someone from school circle. One more things is that he only personally shortlist the resumes for Mont and KG.
hi,
last year we too had applied for mont. admn for our daughter. when we called them up in dec 2009, we were told that all the seats for mont. admn had been given to siblings..
one exception. I know of someone who managed to get into mont. b'coz the kid's dad works for Sasken..
Hi,
Today, I called NPS Indiranagar to be told that they have not decided the dates when they'll start calling. When I asked her to specify a date, she was not even ready to give a tentative one and said that she herself didn't know when they would start caliing. This is crazy..
NPS INDRANAGAR :
Its confirm that for Montessori NPS IND is only taking consideration about sibling criteria.
I wonder how can first time parent get into admission with school putting so many constain's.
NPS HSR says : THERE ARE JUST 10 seats for which they have put 7 criteria's
NPS : KORAMANGLA : Dont know what out of universe idea they will come to select students
Bethany High School in Koramangla lays that if you are leaving on Banerghatta road apply in Sherwood .
Question is : what if parents are relocating to near by area. Then they should wait and try again.
I wonder where my baby will get admission with best schools laying there own such stringent criteria.
Sometimes i feel getting job in IT company is much more easier then getting kids admitted to some of the best schools.
Schools are creating hype. We really don't know the quality of education in so called famous schools. Most of the schools are jusy fancy centers. Should we think/worry so much about these schools?
With 100s of criteria it is nearly impossible to get seats in so called famous schools of Bangalore. And all are taking too much of fees which is realy not worth paying. Most of have done out entire professional course in less than a lakh(including hostel expenditure). and here we are paying just 1 lakh as fees for 1 yr for this Nursery/Mont-1.
It is public looting. So, let us not worry too much. It is better to get educated in convent schools such as FAPS, Bishop, Baldwin, Catheral, Betheny etc. Let us explore those schools who take asmission for LKG. Also 3 yrs is too early for the kid to goto school, by 4 kids will be really ready to go to school. There is one VVS in Marathahalli which take less fees, relaxed school timing, etc..
I don't think its school which is creating hype, we all r responsible for running after the school since they have proven results year after year. I guess almost everybody apply for their child for few limited seats, hence they have to choose. I accept its really frustating for a parent not to get admission of their child in a school of their choice, but beggers can't be choossers. Now a days there r so many avenues, hence we parents should not run after academic orientated school, but easier said than done, we all are afraid to venture into unknown territory. I wish Dr. KP GopalKrishna opens few more school and some more parents can fulfill their wish to put their child in NPS.
True and well said. There are other good schools as well, but everyone wants to put their kid in NPS purely to brag about it.. Not all kids in NPS score above 90% in their class x and xii exams .
There are 2 or 3 schools in 5 star category. Everyone applies for it. When most of them dont get it, they look into the next 15-20 schools with 4 star category and apply to 2 or 3 in them and it goes on.
According to me NPS and Kumarans are in 5 star category.
how can we know about this 'stars. Who decides this?
regards
after considering the popularity of the schools, results in the CBSE/ICSE exams, science/maths/cyber olymbiads, affordability to middle class and upper middle class.
Hi Guddu,
How did you confirm this info ? Did u call them ? Today morning I tried to call them but could not get through ( it looked like they picked up and kept the phone off the hook).
Yes i called NPS IND. after trying for 2 days and that is where they told me that they are looking for sibling criteria
Hi, I had called up NPS HSR today and she told me that they will let us know only in Jan. Last year also they fooled us by telling Jan, but when we went there in Jan we were told that the admission process was closed before Xmas Holidays...
Not sure when we will come to know about the results.
I had been to NPS indiranagar in person to enquire about KG-1 admissions. They had mentioned that they will call parents in Nov 2009 if their children are selected for screening. The lady in the reception (neither rude nor pleasent - more like a robot) answered that "we haven't decided yet and parents can expect a call anytime".
Forget their achievements - they lack transparency and they seem to have lifeless people manning the reception. :-(
Hi,
This is absolutely ridiculous. They distribute forms just to make money. It is as clear as it can be. Why can't they have a different window for sibling forms and then based on how many applications they receive they can decide to open up admissions for others.? They dont do that because they want to make money at the cost of harassing general people who stand for hours together for getting forms and pay up 250-300 Rs.
hi, called up NPS Indra Nagar today regarding the admission in nursery. they told me that there are 30 seats and they have recd 45 sibling applications. so most probably all the seats will be filled up by siblings only. bad luck for the parents trying admission for the first kid.
This is redicules. If that is the case there is no point in issuing application forms to general public. They are making mone out of this also, it looks. This school has good name. So, it is quite natural for all to explore the possibility of taking admission. But, off late it looks NPS is becoming too stingy. It is too upsetting. I heard last time also they did not take any kid from general public
I completely agree with you guys. If this is the case why unnecessarily distributing forms when they don’t have seats to General public like us who have only one kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone received a call for Mont.1 admission 2010-11?
Today (Nov.30th) was the deadline for receiving a call/informed.
Please comment.
Thanks.
I called NPS Rajajinagar today morning. They said, admission status will be known in another one week.
Even I have applied for my kid for Mont-1. Did not get any call till date. It was informed me that we may get call in first 2 weeks of Dec.
regards
WAnted to know how many of you are sending your kids to NS, esp montessori? ANd what ur reviews are.
It seems everyone is trying over there, ready to pay a huge fees, but is it worth it?
this is a review i read on a site
"
My experience with NPS Indiranagar is not good .My daughter is studying there at Mont. stream .The teachers of her class are not at all caring and i think they lack the attitude of teaching/handling the tiny tots of montessori level.Teachers are very much complaining type and rude to the children.They have a very small play area for mont children..most of the time children remain in the class.I dont find anything interesting in their teaching methodologies.i regret my decision of admitting my daughter at NPS ."
Wanted to know if anyone else felt the same?
sumi
My daughter is in Montessori I of NPS, Rajajinagar
She enjoys thoroughly in the school. Teachers are very caring and nice to the kids.
They also have very small play area but they spend good amount of time there.
No need to feel frustrated. You can discuss with the management.
i discussed the matter with the management but all the blame went on my little 3 yr old child.As usual they denied the mistakes of the teacher ."it is very simple to blame his/her best friend or her teacher"...this was their answer..they indicated that your child is making "stories" so dont take her complaints so seriously..it's so shocking!!!
i'm her mother and i know that she's not capable of telling lie.
based on your review, and feedback i got from other parents, and the attitude of the mgmnt of NPS... i deciced not to admit my ward in NPS, and went in for vidyaniketan montessorie on davis road , cooke town. Their main school is in hennur, (http://www.vna.org.in/).
I'm so satisfied by the teaching, approach and the care that is being given to my child., and in just a few days of schooling, my child is now a totally diff person.
I thank God for showing me this school and keeping us away from NPS
what is your daughter's class strength? do they have just one section for mont-1 or multiple sections?
They have around 20-25 kids in each class. There are 2 sections.
Each class having 2 teachers. Very good supporting staff.
I'm finding everything very good there :-)
Thanks for your feedback.
25 kids with two teachers and support staff is too good.
Any idea when they will issue applications for higher classes?
I had submitted the application form for KG 1 in the 1st week of October and still have nt got a call from them.So please let me know if anyone does get a call.Thanks
when did they issues form for KG-1? are they still giving it? does my son, whi will be 3.7 years on June 10 qualify for KG1? Pls do give me some insight. Thanks
i'm sorry, but the date is over. montessori and kg were together
I have not given the details of parents educational qualifications in the admission form of nps indiranagar. were we supposed to? pls. confirm. thanks.
yes , its required but wanted to know when u apply for KG-1, is previous school information needs to be filled if child is already attending Nursery somewhere else ?
I have heard that they don't prefer working mother, but I, myself have seen lots of kids of working mother. People say that they keep changing their crieteria every year but salary plays major role .
I heard from NPS Indiranagar that they have stopped issuing application forms for 2010-2011 (for Montessori admission).
Please let me know, if anyone has an unused/ extra form bought this year from NPS Indiaranagar.
I would be glad to buy the form if it can be used for my ward.
Thank you in advance.

whn u buy the form, the name of the kid is written on it by the lady issuing the form ( and also the class for which u r applying to). so that the form is not used by others or can duplicates be issued. They r very strict abt all this
We feel NPS does not follow any rule layed by any commission . On contacting
the school we get standard reply " ADMISSION ARE FILLED BY SIBLING AND ALUMINI " .We wonder how about 100 odd seats are filled by only siblings and alumini's kids.
Hi
I have got call from NPS HSR for admission test to STD-1 on 9 Apr-09
I came to know that their KG-2/UKG syllabus is much higher than any other school.
looks like few ppl preferring NPS HSR (being new) thats why i got call. my salary in not half of 50 L PA. but Kid is studied in Canada for sometime.
I heard that they ask English sentence wrtting and Maths count for hundreds, addition , substraction of single or double digit i guess. verbal english communication should be good.
Do parents also have to appear for interview.
hai,
my sons name is in waiting list in 1st std in indira nagar NPS.. anyone got call whose kid's name is in waitng list..
Hi,
I would like to know what are factors NPS Indiranagar takes into account to shortlist the students for 1st standard admission, what is the test patterns, how difficult it is.
Kindly guide me.
Regards
There is not much said about NAFL anywhere. Can some one tell me if NAFL has the same syllabus as NPS?
NPS HSR list is already out, has anybody got a call from them ?
Hi,
Just came to knwo from the school that the shortlisted candidates have been called. No I did not get a call and am so anxious now. I wanted this so badly.

Did anyone get call from NPS HSR? Do they display the selected kids name ? Or only tell us whether our kid is selected or not?
Did anyone apply for MONT-1 in NPS and received a call.
Is LKG and MONT admission independent in NPS.
Looking the pay packet of parents and giving admission is so schocking!!!
Is this the philosophy followed in NPS??
It is understandable if the school looks parents background and education. This will help them to know how much support the kid will get from parents..But with a minimum CUT OFF SALARY of the parents and giving "admission" to the kid is so dumb..Very funny too!!!
This is too much!
probably they think that in general if parents are so successful ( co-relating salary with success), then child will fall into "like father like child" category or perhaps its just a filtering crieteria which suits them most as they get so many applications.
whatever it is ? most of the people just doesn't even get chance because of sibling, alumani, some companies and top of that high-fi salary.
or may be we should just leave this on luck ...
Hi all..
Has anybody recd. any call from nps indiranagar or shishu griha for montessori admissions?only a week left for their call deadline(30th nov, as mentioned in their admission form)...
at shishu griha they said that they will start the screening process only in december...
let all of us know if anybody (or his/ her friends) has recd. any call...also, how to go about preparing our kids and ourselves for the next step; interview or whatever ,if at all we are called?? pls. share and suggest, so that we can form some kind of opinion and get some idea about this mysterious process...
thanks..
heard that both NPS Indira Ngr. and sishu Griha have started calling siblings. I have heard that NPS indira ngr has 60 seats for nursery , out of which 40 seats are reserved for sibling/aluminee, some for sasken, IBM and some play school.
So apparently no seat or 1-2 setas for other candidate.
One of my friend got a call today (02-Dec-08) from NPS India Nagar for LKG admission. They have to visit the school on 12-Dec-08. Father works for software MNC. Mother is home maker. Hope this helps....
Is he working for sasken ? if not is he at very high salary ( around 50L) ?
Please let us know as it wud help in soothing ourselves ... atleast we wud know we didn't deserve it as per their crietaria
did u mean 50thousand or 50 lakh,u meant per month or perannum
50 thousand per month is not high salary, I meant 50 Lacks per annum.
sunna 50 k / m is not high sal ?
What is the fee for KG1 (or LKG) admission at NPS Indiranagar? For RajajiNagar, they have asked 57K...
its 65.5k for Indi, Which company is child's father working for ?
Hi,
I need some information on NPS Indiranagar.
1) What is the class strength in Montessori and from 1st std onwards.?
2) Fee structure for Montessori and 1st std onwards. Will it go above Lakhs like international schools?
3) What about the class strength in NPS Koramangala and HSR for Montessori?
Is it same as NPS indirangar?
How do you compare NPS ,DPS, GEAR in general, academics and also wrt fees.
Any valuable inputs from parents are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Can anyone tell me the fee structure of NPS indiranagar, as I'm planning to take admission for my daughter for the next academic year
Nearly 1L for jnr. KG ..
I know NPS Koramangala is < 70K. Both Indiranagar and Rajaji Nagar branch should be less than that (given that there are more students per class).
May be NAFL is about 1L.

Hi All,
I recently had a word with NPS ( RajaJi Ngr) teacher, and got to know that they select only applications where Salary is above 50L, rest would be just discardred. After that during interview they will be asked How much money they can give for school development ? Apparently which is pretty huge. I have really lost hopes for admission in NPS, not sure of crieteria in other braches, may be same/li'l salary cut-off. Its a very sorry state of affairs that those who are educating future of India are themseleves so much dis-orrientated from values.
I have my child studying in NPS Rajajinagar. We did not get a call, when we applied for KG-I,Subsequently We applied for Class-I ,2 years later and she got through the admission test.There were close to 183 students,who appeared for a vacancy of about 6 seats.
As per my experience,the selection was purely on merit.The fee structure was fixed for the academic year and there was no ambiguity.No questions were asked on "How much you can pay?"
The fee has to be paid by a DD or cash at the office and a receipt was obtained for the same.
I am talking about mont. and LKG admission where they get thousands of applications for few seats, so may be thats how they filter candidates.
For those who are interested. I spoke with the school earlier today. They will be handing out the forms for admission to the 2009-2010 academic year from October 15th to October 30th. Apparantely they were handing out the forms for a few days but stopped it.
The Koramangala and the HSR branches are still handing out the forms.
Do check with the school if you are interested.
Hope that helps

I would like to know how would I get help in getting thru' the admission tests for Standard-2 in NPS. Any of the three branches e.g. Indiranagar, Kormangala and HSR Layout would be acceptable, but my first preference would be the Indiranagar branch.
My mobile no is 99802 44663. I would like to know your contact number for further discussion.
I am just wondering Can we even hope to get a call from NPS indira ngr, they have quota for sibling, alumini, teacher's kid and on top of that quota for sasken ( 7 seat reserved for them) , little wonder play school and Neev play school ?
I can understand preference to sibling, alumini, teacher's kid but preference to companies and play group is totally absurd.
