Fees
Application / Registration Fees

- Registration (application) fee for entry to PYP (Grades 1–5), MYP (Grades 6–8) and IBDP (Grade 11) admissions: INR 1,500 per application.
- Historical/older reference for IGCSE registration (earlier cycle): INR 1,000 (used for some past IGCSE registration notices).

Tuition fees by year group

- Detailed tuition amounts by year group (per term or per academic year) are not published in publicly accessible pages; the school maintains an online fee portal for detailed tuition schedules and grade-wise itemised fees. Because full grade-by-grade tuition figures are managed through that portal, exact per-term and per-year numeric values cannot be stated here.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school uses an online fee portal to present fee schedules and to accept fee payments; instalment options and the exact billing cadence (termly/quarterly/monthly) are provided through that portal and in the portal's fee schedules. Specific billing dates, penalty terms for late payment, and instalment breakdowns are not available on the public pages.

Boarding fees

- Jamnabai Narsee International School operates as a day school model; no public information indicates a boarding program or boarding fees for JNIS's Mumbai campus on the accessible pages. If a boarding option is required, it is not listed in the publicly available fee material.

Other costs and fees (uniform, activities, deposits, exam fees, transport, etc.)

- The school's public admissions notices reference registration fees and an online admissions process, but do not publish a complete breakdown of ancillary mandatory or optional charges (uniform, transport, activity/annual charges, security deposit, examination fees) in the publicly accessible materials. These ancillary items and their amounts are managed in the online fee portal and in the school's internal fee schedule.

Refund information

- No publicly accessible, detailed refund policy or numeric refund schedule (for withdrawal, cancellation, or unused services) is published on the school's public pages. Refund terms, notice periods, and any forfeiture rules are set out in the school's internal fee portal and fee policies.

Fee payment options

- The school directs parents to use an online fee portal for payments; specific payment instruments accepted (credit/debit card, net banking, bank transfer, UPI, cheque) are handled through that portal and are not itemised on the public admissions pages.

Summary of available and unavailable fee information

- Available as public fact: the school publishes an application/registration fee of INR 1,500 for current PYP/MYP/IBDP admissions cycles, and previously published IGCSE registration notices referenced INR 1,000.
- Not available as a public fact on the accessible pages: grade-by-grade tuition amounts (per term and per year), billing calendar and full payment terms, boarding fees (if any), itemised ancillary fees (uniform, transport, activity charges), refund policy details, and the list of accepted payment instruments. The school operates an online fee portal where detailed, itemised fee schedules and payment instructions are provided; those detailed figures are maintained in the portal rather than on the public admissions pages.

If you require explicit numeric tuition figures, term-wise breakdowns, or the school's refund policy text, those items are maintained in the school's online fee portal and in the school's internal fee schedule and must be accessed there for precise per-grade and per-term numbers.
