Thank you.

But parents please don't go by this survey totally business focussed once. Share with other parents already going or go by your views of the respective schools. Always these ranking come a haead of admission process to increase confusion among parents.

 Dear Lathaaji

I concur with you...see the timings and every year we tell parents not to go by surveys and we don't endorse any surveys !!

I wonder what is the reliability of the methods for assessment. For example, the fees data that has been quoted here in the summary is very misleading.  I do not know what elements of the fee structure are taken into account for the fees of any school , however as I understand the amount should represent the total cost incurred for any parent seeking the admission in nursery for the first year. For example the fee mentioned above for The Suncity School is Rs 78, 000. This is an underestimate because the total cost for nursery works out to 2,35,764 with transport as extra (inclusive of meals, computers, tuition paid quarterly, annual and one time payments). I request parents to look into the data provided here and also tell if any other school's fee structure is being reported inadequately. These differences in collating data for different schools can create confusion about the decision a parent makes regarding their child.

A CORRECTION in the figure mentioned above : It is 2,11,764 Rupees and NOT 2,35,764. Error regretted.

Has anyone read the survey details anywhere apart from this final ranking ? Please share the link for understanding what were the parameters for 2012 survey and what were the actual points of a school for every parameter. The complete score added up actually makes little sense unless one understands what the scores mean.

Thanks Deepten. Is this on the net ? I haven't been able to search the write-up. What about the split-up of the total score of a school against the parameters ? Have they shown that as well ? Will be grateful if you can provide the link. Thanks.
