Welham Boys' School

Application / Admission Fees

- Registration / application fee: ₹1,000.
- Entrance / assessment fee (one-time at application): ₹15,000.

One‑time deposits and admission charges (payable at offer/registration)

- Security deposit (refundable): commonly reported between ₹285,000 and ₹475,000; the school also states that the security deposit charged at the time of admission is equivalent to one term fee and is refundable on request when the pupil leaves.
- Imprest deposit (for pocket money / incidental charges): ₹60,000 (typical figure reported).
- Admission / non‑refundable administrative charges: amounts reported vary (examples found include an admission/registration charge around ₹10,000–₹21,000 and a small non‑refundable component reported in some listings). Exact one‑time admission/processing amounts vary by source.

Tuition and boarding fees (annual and per‑term detail)

- Annual tuition + boarding (combined): widely reported as ₹570,000 per year (this figure is commonly cited as the core annual boarding + tuition charge).
- Alternative all‑in first‑year totals reported: when one‑time deposits and other admission charges are included, total first‑year cost examples appear in the range of approximately ₹931,000 to ₹950,000. These totals combine the annual tuition & boarding figure with security deposit, imprest and other admission payments.
- Billing schedule / term breakdown: school fee is due twice a year (payments are required after the summer vacation and after the winter vacation). Because fees are billed twice yearly, the per‑payment (half‑year) amount for the cited annual tuition & boarding of ₹570,000 would be ₹285,000 per payment. All dues must be paid in full on or before the school reopens.

Boarding fees

- Boarding costs are included within the combined tuition & boarding figure reported above (₹570,000 per annum as the commonly cited combined amount). The school operates as a residential (boarding) school and the published combined figure is typically used to represent both tuition and boarding charges together. Separate published line‑item boarding fees were not found in public listings.

Other recurring or occasional costs

- Uniform, books, stationery and personal supplies: typically charged separately or drawn from the imprest deposit; an imprest of ~₹60,000 is reported to cover these and incidental items.
- Medical, activity, transport and excursion charges: additional charges for specific activities, trips, exam fees and medical services may apply; imprest or other ancillary bills are commonly used to settle these items. Public listings note these categories but exact recurring amounts vary by year and activity.

Refunds and withdrawal rules

- Security deposit: refundable on request when the pupil leaves; unclaimed security deposits for a period of three years may be forfeited to the school.
- Tuition / term fees: the published school rules state that the fee will not be refunded in general. Withdrawal timing affects the fee charged:
- No charges are made if the written letter of withdrawal reaches the school by specified cut‑off dates (15 June for the Autumn term and 30 December for the Spring term).
- If the withdrawal letter reaches the school after those dates but before reopening, a half‑term fee is charged.
- If a pupil is withdrawn after the school reopens, a full term fee will be charged.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Frequency: fees are due twice a year (after the summer vacation and after the winter vacation). All dues must be paid on or before school reopens. Unpaid dues can result in the student being sent home. Security deposit equal to one term fee is collected at admission; the school reserves the right to revise fees.

Fee payment options (publicly reported / typical methods)

- Publicly available fee listings and admissions guidance for the school do not provide a single definitive public list of accepted payment channels. Various admission guides and historical instructions for related Welham schools indicate use of bank instruments such as Demand Drafts for application/registration in past practice; third‑party listings and school prospectus excerpts commonly show bank‑transfer / demand draft / cheque as historically used channels for fee payments at comparable schools. Parents should be aware that the school may require specific payment instruments or bank details at the time of admission.
