Fees
Application / Admission Fees
- A one-month admission fee is required at the time of application/ submission of admission forms; this admission fee is non-refundable.
Tuition fees by year group (term / annual amounts)
- The school does not publish a publicly available, grade-by-grade term-wise tuition schedule on its published Fees page; no per-term, per-grade numbers are shown on the school's fees page.
- Third-party listings report a broad range of annual tuition figures rather than a detailed per-grade term breakdown. Reported annual ranges include approximate figures such as: Rs. 66,000 per year (single-site listing) and broader approximate ranges from roughly Rs. 1,32,300 up to Rs. 2,06,718 or higher; other directories list average annual totals for comparable years in the region in the Rs. 3,00,000–5,00,000 band. These figures are presented by external school-directory sources and reflect differing estimates rather than a single published fee table.
Billing schedule and payment terms
- The one-month non-refundable admission fee is payable on submission of admission forms. Tuition and any other confirmed fees are billed after admission is confirmed; the school requires payment of the admission fee before finalising admission.
- The school's publicly shown fees information includes a machine-readable payment option (a QR code) for fee payment. The published materials indicate that fees can be paid by scanning the QR code. Other specific billing due dates, instalment dates, or a detailed term-wise billing calendar are not published on the school's public fees page.
Boarding fees (if applicable)
- Boarding (day‑cum‑boarding/hostel) is offered for some year groups (boarder places are available particularly for middle‑year and diploma-level students as noted in school listings). A specific boarding fee schedule or boarding per-term/per-year amounts is not published in the public fees information located on the school's fees page.
Other costs and typical additional charges
- Additional cost heads referenced in admissions checklists and directory summaries include: transport (transportation form is part of admission paperwork), activity or enrichment charges, exam or examination registration charges for external curricula/tests, and routine school ancillary costs. Transport-related charges and the transport form are explicitly listed in admissions checklists and parent reviews. Specific amounts for uniform, transport, meals, or activity charges are not published as a single comprehensive fee schedule on the school's fees page.
Refund information
- The one-month admission fee is explicitly described as non-refundable. No comprehensive public refund policy for tuition or other fee heads (for example, pro-rata tuition refunds, refund deadlines, or penalty schedules) is published on the school's public fees page.
Fee payment options
- A QR-code payment option is provided for fee payments (the fees materials show a QR code for payments). Published materials indicate payment via that QR code; other specific payment methods (credit card, online bank transfer, cheque/DD, or in-person bank deposit) are not itemised in the publicly posted fees page.
Summary of availability and limitations of published fee data
- The school's public Fees page displays a QR code for payments but does not publish a detailed, grade-by-grade, term-by-term fee table or a full billing calendar. External school-directory sources and listings provide differing annual estimates and consistently report the one-month non-refundable admission fee, but they do not supply a single authoritative per-term per-grade schedule. Where precise per-grade, per-term, or boarding fee numbers are required, no complete public fee schedule was found on the school's published fees page; third-party listings present varied annual ranges instead.
