Is it including the one time payment of 50k which BGS charge from all parents at the time of admission?

No.. They are asking separately 1 lakh + 50 k (as usual) + qtrly fees

Namaste Ma'am,

Wait for 2nd draw in case you don't find school of your choice in first list (you may block 1 seat in any school in which you get listed, and can get refund per D.O.E. guidelines for a withdrawal)

Also, there are several good schools which doesn't take a penny for their Management Seats (R.D.Rajpal  / J.M.International) and there are top schools too which does the same (NiBS / St. Thomas) that I very much aware of.

By the way, FYI - St. Thomas does sent SMS later to applied candidates if they are interested in School's Management Seat then they can approach school by submitting an application, where they interview a parent when called upon (primarily assessing on how parents take school and how parent provide suitable learning environment to their child).

Also, in ITL it depends (as I don't have clarity how, I mean whether school been approached directly or through some source by the applicant) because I learnt there are some who received seats without any penny extra there too.

Thanks!

Thank you Snehil Jain ji. Yes we have received a message from St Thomas for management seat. Though we like the school, it's location is little bit odd. 

Do you think BGS will hold second draw as there are already 100 candidates on 2 waiting lists? 

Thank you

That stats speak for itself :)

Why so much elongated Waiting List whereas in VIS-Sec10 or DPS you may find of hardly 10.

Basically, the school read their past treads how they managed to fill their seats and accordingly put the numbers in their waiting. So, if that's what BGS has put, I consider it may go to 2nd draw, however I'm not a fortuneteller. We can't predict, yet I have given you an option of better schools than BGS in St. Thomas and NiBS.

Speaking about location of St. Thomas, is there any incident of any mis-happening in many years that we may came across, besides the School Transport and Facilities make sure the children are dropped and picked within School Campus (vast and lush green). The school security deserves a credit if many among us has such concerns. My colleagues and relative has their kids studying there and I have all positive insights about the school.

Thanks!
