BR

Amit

Hi.. I m also looking for the details of the interview held with DPS on Friday/Saturday..parents please share who already attended the interaction...

Hi All,

We had an interaction for DPSN on Saturday. Below I am mentioning the procedure:

1. The child was taken to a separate room along with about 10 kids, and there child is made to do pattern gaming, puzzle solving, coloring. My daughter was asked her name, our name, which play school she goes, rhymes(Hindi, English both), counting her fingers on both hands. Also she was made to play a game where she was made to jump into a ring patters(don't know what it is called).

2. After that in about half an hour, we all were taken to a hall, from wherein a group of about 8 parents were called in for interaction with the principal. She just asked all of us to give an introduction. Now its up to the parents how beautifully they can introduce and give description of themselves, their child, their profile etc.

One more thing, prior to all this, a small questionnaire was given to fill in. That's it.

Yes overall you be prepared for a time span of 2-3 hours.

All the best to all of you!!!

Did anyone received any mail from DPSN today?

Tarun... I almost feel u r wrong... There are kids whoes name starts with AA and have got mail 2 days back....

I am still waiting for my mail and I am only 500 mtrs away from DPS Noida...

Hi All,

Just now received the mail...we have interaction on 27th Sept @12:00 pm..

But at the same date & time we have the interaction for Somerville & Amity as well.... Don't know which one to choose & which one to drop... :(

Can anyone pls guide me....

Geetika you are staying in Noda or Indrapuram

@Sector 62 Noida

First go for Somerville reach there before time as it is FCFS basis. Than you have to Prioritze in DPS or Amity.  would say DPS

@Geetika. What is your form Number for DPS

When is the final result after interaction expected from DPSN?

Is it right to take assumption that parent who have not received call/mail till date from DPS interaction, have not been shortlisted. Have some one got mail/call for interaction in last 2 days.

Reason for asking is my son is currently studying in FAS and have been selected for Somerville. Can I still expect call from DPS as payment for Somerville will be required by this weekend

@Shishir: my ward is also studying in FAS..jst wanted to knw why u are planning to switch..we had our interaction in DPS yesterday..

@ Rupa , Shishir : Your kids are studying in Nursery FAS. Then how they are Eligible for DPS Noida. Is it like that FAS has prenursery also.

Delete Comment

@ Rupa , Shishir: how do you find FAS? Is it good option to consider? Since, your kids r already going to this FAS...could you please shed more light on the same...I mean how much importance they give to co-curricular activities apart from academics?

We had an interaction for DPSN yesterday.

1. Cash of 750/- to be deposited as registration fee.

(As mentioned by Preeti Pandey also)

1. The child was taken to a separate room along with about 8/10 kids, and there child is made to do pattern gaming, puzzle solving, coloring. My daughter was asked her name, our name, which play school she goes, rhymes(Hindi, English both. Also she was made to play a game where she was made to jump into a ring patters(don't know what it is called). Meanwhile a small questionnaire was given to fill in with 2 qs 1)“ how to manage ur kid with a birth of new sibling?”

2) “Are u ready to hire/provide counseling or guidance for ur ward” something like that dnt remember exactly

2. After that in about half an hour, we all were taken to the AV Room, from wherein a group of about 8 parents were called in for interaction with the principal. She just asked all of us to give an introduction, give description of themselves, their child, their profile etc.

Overall time span is 2-3 hours.

@ Dippi: jst wanted to knw complicated in what sense..please share ur view on this..

@ Geetika:Last year my daughter was shortlisted for Amity ...but we chose FAS because of distance (as we are in 62) and less fees comapared to other schools in Noida.....Amity is quite far….and moreover FAS is a convent school n follows catholic culture thus more disciplined........most importantly we got a very good feedback from other parents whose kids are studying in FAS..

FAS follows more academic approach -- traditional, structured and teacher-directed-- focused on formal reading and math readiness skills, such as learning and writing letter names, numbers  and how to count. ……..vs. a developmental approach -- informal and child directed---emphasis on cognitive and social development-- based on the belief that children are capable, curious learners who are free to learn  themselves and express their thoughts and ideas---

Also now I feel 

1. Teacher students ratio is very high approx 1:40.. and i guess kids don't get personal attention ...
2. I am not quite impressed with the teaching methods they follow …
3. Less extra curricular activities..

 @Shishir: please share ur views as well abt FAS..

Thanks Rupa!!

FAS is very good school and I will rate it very high in terms of value for money I.e. focus on education, values, over all development activity - Sports/Communication etc, where as fee structure is reasonable. Decision to shift is not easy.

Sharing my personal view of selection criteria will not be justice as I respect both school focus and ideology. Sorry but we can share views offline via mail so that we are not influencing any group/parents (shishirroy2000@gmail.com)

Lot of school ask about how do we rate our priority. That will help us as parent in case we have multiple options (personal opinion and how I will select school):

Focus on Education - What does this mean? Do you compare academic result of 12th, How many went to IIT, AIMS/Medical etc?
Over All Development
    a) Sports activity
    b) Cultural activity
    c) Communication Skills - Debate, Quiz etc
Focus on Values
Social Activity
Parent Teacher Interaction
School Distance
Child teacher Ratio

Note: In my view last 2 point only matter for first 3-4 years. In case you have long term plan shift home if school distance is problem, because kid should be first priority.
Caution: Having lot of activity can also result in too much distraction, over/low confidence, unwanted pressure to excel - which as parent we need to take care.
Points which I think have most influenced parents are - how school have done marketing (I.e. claim to be best in Over all development coz you have Horse Riding, Self defense). Few school focus on parent networking rather than what they are expected to do.

Anyone who has applied in DPSN and still waiting for the email for interaction?

@Shilpa ....yes we hv applied for DPS and still waiting for there respose :-(

any one waiting for intraction in dpsnoida?????? what is there critera to call student for conversation???

Do they allow parents also when the child is being judged or parents are not allowed inside at all in DPSN interaction?

@Archana Parents are called up in case kids are not comfortable.

@Divesh, Not Yet!!

I had an interaction on 21st and was told that result would be out on 25th. Any idea how it will be communicated? Is it going to uploaded on the school website or mail would be received.?

Divesh, 

My daughter is a little shy.....knows everything but may not open up in front of strangers....is going along with her any negative?? I dont want to force her in to a situation she is not comfortable in and make her overall mood bad so was thinking if its ok to accompany!!

I just got interaction date from DPS noida, members kindly share their experience of interaction @DPS noida

I think they will send mail.

I think all the parents  were called along with the child after 5/10 minutes of the interaction..

@ Archana Bansal, the child is initially taken alone along with other children. Parents are caled later after around 20-30 mins.

Thanks Rupa!  Thats releiving!

We have just received the mail from DPSN for interaction. Our intraction is on 28th Sept.2013 9.15 a.m.
