Hi All,
Could anyone tell me about NPS, Koramangala & HSR as I stay nearby to these places.
I am looking for getting admitted my daughter in either of these schools for LKG for academic Year 20011 - 2012. Please do let me know is it worthwhile.
Also please do let me know any other good schools if you people know.
Looking forward for your comments. Every comment is valuable
Hi,
Can anyone tell me what is the age criteria for M0 in NPS?When do they start issuing forms and what is the selection criteria?
What I have heard is for mont the age range is 3 year +/- 2 months in NPS ... If your kid doesnt fit into that age range, try LKG next year ... NPS has both LKG and Mont...
Hi
I am returning from Australia for good and will settle in Bangalore. I am looking for my daughter's admission for KG 2 at NPS HSR Layout / Kormangla . Could you please share your view if this is possible to get admission at these schools in the month of May?
Thanks
Guna
hi guna,
from what i know, the admissions for NPS HSR is already over. Having said that, there may still be some last minute drop outs / open slot.
It is best to reach out to the school over the phone to get to know.
Good luck.
Sridhar.
This year the admission to Std 1 and above was a joke. They conducted the test only to let all parents know that there are no vacancies in NPS, Koramangala. They put up a list of waitlisted students.
All these just to fleece money from people
The same thing for NPS HSR layout. They have selcted kids only for class1. For class 2,3 and 4 , only waiting lists are there.
Hi Reena,
Would it be possible for you to let me know how many kids got admission in Std 1 in NPS HSR ?
Regards
Sure. They selected about 30 students in 1st standard. I think they have added a new section. 5-6 kids were in the waiting list also.
I have applied for admission of my son in both the schools NPS Koramangala and HSR layout for 2nd standard and ironically they have kept the entrance test on the same day at 7th april. Both schools are same distance from my home and I want to try in both. Do they do it purposefully? Please suggest what to do now.
Yes, the conduct the test on the same day and same time for all their branches. So you have to decide which one you want to apply for. This is followed every year.
Hi,
Does anyone know if the shortlisted children have been informed for Class 1 and 3 in NPS Koramangla and HSR?
hi can anybody whose child has done the nps 1st standard test tell me what the test is like. English portion and math portion on which the child is tested. thanks in advance
Hi is there anyone whose child has done the entrance for 1st who can guide us on what the question paper was like. Appreciate the help.
My daughter will be looking for admission in next year for Montessori . I want to know how much distance is considered close (I stay in Wilson Garden) from school authority standpoint? As someone mentioned "ability to pay", how do they find out that? do they ask salary of parents .. on/off records?
Yes, admissions are over in Koramangala. I somehow think proximity and ability to pay is a factor in selection, as I know for sure 2 kids who have been selected but don't meet with the schools age criteria!
Any idea about following?
a) How do they check ability to pay? Do they ask on/off records?
b) what distance do they consider close?
regards,
if you did not get a call by noon today, tough luck
I don't think admissions in HSR are over yet .. I just called them up and found out results will be out by Jan end.
we got a call on Monday to meet today. met the prinicipal and afterwards we were informed that admission is granted and need to deposit fees by tomorrow.
Oh man! NPS missed a smart kid! NPS's loss is DPS's gain.
did anyone receive call from nps kormangla ? Is there going to be interview ?
I too am waiting for the call. When I called during Dec 3rd week, they said they will give a call during Jan 2nd week.
If anyone else receives a call from NPS Koramangala, please let others know so that we can at least guess ;-)
We did get a call for Mont .. interview on 7th
What was the interview like? What do they assess.
I am looking at NPS montessori for my child next year.
from which branch u got the call?
from NPS kor. for the mont ...
got from Kor. for mont 1 ..
We got a call from NPS Kor this morning and was asked to meet them tmrw. The lady said "if" selected we have to pay the fees within 2 days. So really wondering if there are still chances of not getting through! BTW this is for KG1.
Admissions to NPS Kor for LKG and Mont are over for 2010-2011.......
Congratulations! i called up and they said my daughter's name is not on list. Do u stay nearby to school bcoz i think distance is also a criteria?
Hi DP
Congratulations ! i also called up and they said my daughter's name is not in list.. Do you stay nearby to school bcoz distance is also one of the criteria??
Thanks and regards,
Monika.
We got the admission and paid the fees. We stay in BTM.
oh.. so there are chances ofrejection even after receiving the call.Can someone confirm ?
Or are they yet to start the shortlisting process?
Anyone got any call from them for interview?
Did anybody get call from NPS Indranagar for interview.
I have called up NPs Indiranagar, they have informed that they will confirm in 1 st week of Dec'09 for Mont I
Any update on this people?
Haven't heard anything from the school yet... even we have applied for our kid in NPS indiranagar for MONT1
Hi , I have collected admission for my son for Mont 1 in October! Are they calling people for interview..Heard the process is started from 1st week of November
as per a comment on parentree.in , someone has got a call on Nov 10th for nursery and was asking to pay the fees.
But i just called the school , and they said that the results will be out only in the last wk of Nov/ 1st wk of dec
has anyone else got any call from the school?
Hi,
I have applied for Montessori in NPS Indiranagar for my daughter. Anyone got call from them?? Please let me know..
Thank you!
I had submitted the application form for Kg1 2010-11 batch at NPS Indira Ngr in the 1st week of Oct 09.I still havent got a call from them.Has anybody got a call from them?
Hi Neri,
Me too applied for my son for the year 2010-11, but till now didn't get call from them.
I enquired with them today but they replied that we will come to know by end of Nov 09.
If they didnt called then its like we are not selected for this year.
There is no transparency in NPS as of I know.
Thanks

the queue for getting the forms was so bad...like the entire blore had come today. the queue was atleast 1 km ( not joking). And after 11, they closed the gates and only those inside the gates were given forms. i reached at 9.20 and got the forms at 12.15.
they r just out there to make money. After i got the form, i heard the help desk lady say, that there r several critirea like sibling/ proximity/ alumini etc, points r given , and bsed on those scores, they take. So basically, for normal parents, chances r very very slim
secondly, while u buy the form , no queris r answered. After getting the form, they tell some parents that chances r slim, submit the form and let the school take a call, results r out only in the 2nd wk of Jan.
More parents were in a fix. After getting the form, they were told by the help desk lady that the child will not fit into either M1 or Kg1... i.e the age for M1 is 2.10 to 3.6 and kg starts from 3.10...so kids between the age of 3.7 to 3.9 as on june 1st 2010 are basically lost. One parent said that her kid would be 3.9 and in NPS INDr she applied for kg1 and while submitting the form, she was made to cut it and write M1. While buying the form in kormangala, the lady issuing the form said, ok do the same, but after she got the form, the help desk lady said, oh the kid will not fall into any age group, ... not sure either u write M1/KG1 or just write KG1 and let the school take a call. The parent asked then, what will such kids do...and the help desk lady just said " oh maybe you all should start planning, when u r planning to have kids itself!!!!!"
Just see the height of stupidity. i was shocked , ..... ANd all this happens only after u buy the form.... so basically their only concern is that they sell their forms and make money out of that. They have made a cool 3-4 lakhs just today... many ppl were buying 2 forms for friends etc. Maximum they give is 2 forms per person. U just have to give the name and the class!!!
NPS indr was more civilised.
I know of kid born in Oct-2005 got into NPS HSR in KG-1 last year, so he was 3 yrs 7 months then. This year they are not even considering 3.9/3.10 for Kg-1.
I know lots of people who cudn't fill form or their application will not be considered for any of M0 or KG-1 because of age restriction, so I guess people who are falling into their age crieteria would have better chances than last year. Apart from that this year they distributed forms for lesser days + form submission date was for few days, so lots of poeple missed it because of vacations during that time. So, I believe people have better chances this year but I cud be wrong as they have various other filtering crieteria. Lets hope for the best.
Folks: Spoke to the "lady" and came to know that they plan to start giving out the forms from next Wednesday (21st October). Timing - 9.00 - 11.00 AM
-Sridhar
Both NPS Koramangala and HSR have started issuing forms from today ... is 21st Oct 2009. Please go and collect the forms asap .. timings are from 9:00 to 11: 00 AM ...
I went to NPS Indira Nagar . Admission forms for Mont 1 is already over for June 2010..
I just got back from NPS Indiranagar. The admissions forms would be available for few more days, so hurry up. Costs Rs.250/- for KG1. They arent issuing forms for KG2 though.
ANy updates of the application forms?
do u know when the forms for kor/hsr will be given out?... each time they ask to call again nxt wk
I have been waiting for KOR forms as well. HSR is too far for my son.
KOR forms should be out within next week. The office admin never gives the right date. Crazy system. We got to keep calling
Anybody knows when the admission procedures start for M0 admission in NPS HSR? When I called them today they asked me to call them back on wednesday.
Hello all
NPS indiranagar has already started issuing the admn, forms for 2010-2011 early this week, HSR and Koramangala will most probably start next week as per the office staff.
Regards
Mancy
Hi
I too had called them up y/day, got the same answer.
Any idea about the fee str for M0 in NPS HSR?
What age the child should be to join M0? As per the info available on net, for montessori, the kid should be between 2.6 to 2.9/3. But when I called up NPS HSR, they said if the age is 2.6 by June, the kid would not be eligible for 2010. She will be eligible only for 2011. I'm surprised!!! 3.6 is too late for montessori.
Anybody in the same boat?
What age the kid should be by June 2010 to join M0??
that is becos, they start only from M1 and want the child to be btn 2.9 and 3.2..... also i heard them say that sept to dec borns should cme only nxt yr for admission... they said this to a parent in the queue infront fo me
they have two stream, one is mont and other is kindergarden. Your child would be eligible for kindergarden not for mont stream.
I called this morning and the response is same that they dont have any instructions yet on the forms and we need to call them on Wednesday the Oct7th
I called up today (7th Oct) . It seems the instructions have not been given to them yet regarding the admissions
Hi,
We are coming back from US in April and i want to get my daughter admitted in UKG at NPS Koramangala. My dad went to enquire and they said that they dont issue application forms for UKG. Can anyone please guide if experienced the same situation. What is my option?
Thanks in advance.
Any idea when school is starting application form distribution for 2010-2011 for LKG/nursery admission ? pls. reply if anybody gets to know about it.
I also need this info. I checked with the school and every time I call them, they tell me a different month :) Not sure of the exact dates when the forms will be out. Please reply to me if anyone of you has any details.
I guess it is 1st week of Oct. What is the process like? Do we need to be in person to get the application?
Hi there,
I called up NPS Indiranagar during august and they said the admission forms will be distributed after October 5th. Much to my surprise, the response I got was quite polite. We are planning to go to the school on 5th/6th to collect the forms. However giving them a call before that would help, I think.
Regards,
Divya
Do we need to be there in person? We are planning to move to Bangalore from U.S next year? Do they send the application by email?
Your friends/relatives can collect on behalf and give it back to them.
But Parents&Child should be there for interview process incase of shortlisted.
thanx for te info divya

Hi,
We had filled the form and there has been no response at all. Are the results out? Is there any way my kid can at least get a chance to prove her talent? On what basis do they shortlist?
I called up NPS Indiranagar and they told me that we can wait till 15 mar for the selection process to be completed. btw my child would go to 2 nd std. anyone got a call pl let me know.
Any idea when is the test for 1standard in Koramangala and HSR. Also please provide any details on the test f anybody has.

I have recieved a written testg call for my daughter for grade 1 on 9th April. Does anybody know what level of questions to expect? Is the math single digit or double digit? What is the level of english questions expected?
i got my son admitted for std 1,in the presidency group of institutions,with a written test in english,math and hindi.
the general pattern is to test the child in spelling,cvc combination that is consonant vowel consonant,e.g cat,bus,bat,van,like these words
then plurals ,then simple sentences by giving a pic of a bat,the qn is what is this?
the answer expected of a child is this is a bat.
some pictures and their names like bat,ball sun ,bus,can and they have to be matched
for math it is the number names ie write in words the numbers from one to twenty,any of these.then count by 10's,i.e 10,20,30,40
then simple one digit addition using pictorial representation like 2 flowers plus therr flowers the answer must be 5,written by the child
then no's in descending and ascending order from 10 to 1 and 1 to 10
hindi or kannada,its more of the basic alphabet.writing them and also matching the alphabet with the picture
all the best.the entrance test for clas s i,looked like an entrance exam or interview for a post in a senior level in a big mnc.i felt so.all the best do'nt pressurise the kid,please.i am an academician and i believe that every child has his or her unique talent and we as adults need to venerate and celebrate their uniqueness
all the best

Hi Called up NPS Koramangala twice and the receptionist said that the test will be over before 15th April 2009. She was not sure about the exact dates.
hi...
i had applied for 3 rd grade @NPS indiranagar and montessori for my boys. i have recieved a letter for the entrance exam which will be on april 9th, '09. 10th the results will be out.
hope this helps..
p.s. but i havent recieved any kind of intimation for my younger one for montessori...!
Thanks for the clarification Sridhar.
Is it also true that Montessori kids will be more creative and independent thinking when compared to LKG/UKG. Also montessori gives good foundation in maths? Read some education site couple of months back..
It would be great if someone can give more on Montessori method v/s LKG-UKG.
Thanks, Reena
Has NPS koramangala called anyone for Mont 2009-2010?
NPS Kormangla said they haven't decided the date yet, and don't know when they wud be doing it. and NPS Indira nagar said they will start in a day or two. Please let us know if anybody gets a call from any of these.
Here's how my call went... (rl = rude lady)
me: Hi, this is Sri. How are you? Have you announced the short list?
rl: No. Not yet.
me: Any idea when you will announce it?
rl: No idea. Not decided yet.
me: Will it be in January?
rl: Not sure. Call next week and check.
Puts phone down..!!
One word - "Ridiculous"
-Sri
NPS Kor list is out
Did any one get a call,have they shortlisted kids for nursery
Hi,
Can you tell me whether the selection process is completedd. If not when. How about admissio to Trasfer case when the children are in Germany.

Hi,
What is the fee at NPS koramangala for Montessori?
I like to know the annual tution fees ( Not the initial admission/donation. I think this will be onetime payment )
thanks
NPS HSR will start admission in feb. , don't know about other branch ! But I guess other will also start by Jan-feb time-frame.
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....
No,They are still issuing forms,will stop giving form on 30th of Nov only,may be after dec,DO u know on what basis they are selcting kids for nursey,
I am confused. Is NPS following both Montessori and Kindergarten?
Which is good branch?Indiranagar, HSR or Kormangala?
Hi Reena,
NPS has both and they meet in the first grade/standard. Montessori is three levels - M0, M1 and M2 (and then 1st grade). On the Kindergarten track it is LKG, UKG (and then 1st grade).
Indiranagar has been around for a long time and Koramangala is next. The HSR branch was established last year.
I guess all are good. I would go with Koramangala first mainly 'coz of the better student to teacher ratio. I have also heard that it is less academic than Indiranagar (not sure how far this is true). Not putting HSR up there since it is relatively new. But, knowing NPS's interest in protecting their "brand", I'm sure that it will be pretty good too.
-Sridhar
After submitting form for lower kg. parents has to keep follow up for admissions. NPS wont reply if ur kid not shortlisted. this is very bad.
It's just August and just a few months into this academic year. Why on earth is NPS distributing admission forms already? Aren't the admission process suppossed to begin after December or something?
This is insane!!
I know! I had not so nice experience with the NPS staff...
They are not even willing to respond properly over phone!! I had a very nice impression of the school.. now I am wondering.... are they turning out snobs??? I dont want my kids to feel superior of any one just because of the school they go to!!!! I know they should have reasons of their own, but not cause of their parents' money / influence!
Yes, the staff is really rude and snobbish right down to the watchman !! My friend also seems to had a bad experience in the HSR layout branch of NPS.
Hi there,
We are currently living in the US and plan to relocate to India next year. We would like to get our daughter admitted in the 5th grade (hopefully) in NPS. Anybody has any inputs on what I need to be doing? (Of course, I will be talking to the school to get further information - but will really appreciate any information that any of you can share)
Thanks - Revathi.
hi Revathi
i am also planning to relocate this yr .
i have applied for addmission in August 2008 NPS HSR, with a feeling that it is a new school so wouldn't be hard to find a placement. at the time of application when i asked them when would be the shortlisting, they said it is still not known,
later when i rang the school they said sometime nov / dec, now they have a diffirent version that everything was full and if anyone moves out only they will inform us and called for a written test. still not heard from them .
have you applied for this school ?
Hi Revathi,
In general the number of available seats at later classes is quite less (usually a couple). From what I have heard, they usually have a wirtten test to select the students. Not sure how much of the other credentials will help (such as extra curriculars etc.).
I think takling to the school (to get an idea of when they start issuing the forms and when the dates for the test are) is definitely a start.
In general it may be easier to get into the newer schools (inventure, greenwood, india international etc.). Also, NPS has a newly opened branch (HSR Layout) and also an international school (TISB). You should try all of them.
Good luck with your hunt and move.
-Arvind
My friend's kids go to this school and they really like it ovearll. The teachers are suppossed to be awesome.
However the school is suppossedly a bit pricey when compared to the other branches of NPS (not sure how it is when compared to the other schools)
Hi can any one tell me on what bases kormangala NPS is selecting children,will there be any interview for nursery,my daughter will turn 3 years in july 2009,is this fine.
