Its a good school.

More activities than Studies, Good

Okay! My verdict by getting into One to One season with mostly all schools in Dwarka is i wont consider those schools who are inclined to favor the "First come First Serve" option. I have been to Indraprastha today and my feedback about the School is no no. The schools which lacks in Transparency would come out to be commercial today or tomorrow. We visited and they called to verify the documents. But during the conversation the Lady sad that you need to Block the Seat for the ward by this Thursday by paying 81000 Approx which is not including any tution fee or any component from the School fees structure. When confirming that weather they will give me the receipt for the same they sad no. I asked if i do not pay you anything by Thursday what will happen; she sad then the lottery will happen and then you have to Pay 51,000 which is apart from again any fees. My experience is i wont be giving any money in Black to any school (Indraprastha, MBS, Maxfort, OPG, JM Interntional). It will give them the liberty to do this practise every year making this proffesion a lucrative churning format. This schools are not worried about the vision and focus towards Education but will emphasis once you open your wallet. things are difficult but i will face this as a challenge and all kids do have there own destiny and all kids will be doing good in there life. 

one more note - If anyone wants to block the seats then later on in case they do not want to opt for the paid option then the money wont be paid. Simple reasoning. no receipt no refund. So be aware that what you are paying wont have any proof. We need to understand that in case we follow this concept then next year the parents will suffer more or have to do a FD for one year to Choose a school which they find suitable for there ward and talk confidently as a business deal for admission. 

@ Ratnadeep

Thanks for sharing. This is what we were suspecting.

But I am fully with your thoughts.

It is altogether sad where we are heading in this noble profession of education.

It is no more education now. Pure business for some.

True! so I visited Maxfort n OPG but didn't get admitted. Now they, even JM is not in my list at all.
I think paying more fees in school is still better than paying bribe.

i have earlier decided not to pay any money besides fees and other charges for which receipt shall be given. In my opion, more or less all the top 15-16 schools have same standards then why to pay money to thses schools. And rest depents upon the destiny.

I understood the process of admission very clearly now. The EWS seats are actually offered to mixture of less number of EWS applicants and in the same category the staff quota is accommodated. What remains in that specific EWS category and then the staff category is with Donation (Highest BID wins as we do in EBay). Learning this lucrative process I wonder wither there is any lottery as I am sure it’s picked up voluntarily. So the conclusion is sit and waits for the list of all schools that anyone & everyone have filled. despite the fact in case you don’t get the name in the list then collect at least an amount of 1-2 Lakhs handy any try next year or even this year and go shopping for the seats. Its just like a shopping festival and earlier you bid and pick you win. This is not my negative thought but a positive thought to get my child educated under this system. Wonder how the Department of Education works without the scrutiny into this kind of practices.

Can anyone Please guide me for Delhi International School, Dwarka Sec-23.

I am now thinking to put my child in Sumer Mal Jain (Janak Puri) only seeing all this in Dwarka.

Can anyone tell me please if the admission form for schools like St Mary Dwarka (Ave Maria) and Nirmal Bhartia Dwarka are released now?

@ Nistha Saran ji,

Howz Vishwa Bharti is?

Rajesh! Nirmal Bhartia is out. I am not sure about St. Mary's

Nirmal Bhartia is also a good school

but most expensive school I have found so far is Nirmal Bhartia

what I could make out from my conversation with them was approx. 15-18k pm including transport.

Please provide me Fee structure and feedback of Basva International school

Each school you talk about would vary between 10-12 k including transport.....

@Priya: Thanks for sharing these details

True! Gautam

have anyone of you heard of Sumer Mal in Janak Puri?

St Merry is also Out

Nishta Saran ji,

Thanks for the update i think there 1st list coming on 20th Jan. Is it?

Sumer Mal is opposite to Mira Model....

Mira model is more famous than the other one

Try out Sadhu Vaswani school(girl school only)....its a good school situated in Satya Niketan...they have transport facilities across several parts of west delhi e.g paschim vihar, vikas puri, janakpuri, rajouri garden, subhash nagar etc etc. Very good infrastructure, highly neat and clean, ample ground for kids to do outdoor. Distance is little high but as a parent we must be prepared to not be too soft.

How to get the form for Nursery admission in St. Mary's Dwarka

@Rajesh Kumar. St Marys is from 1st. it has junior branch naming ave maria.

@Sandeep: How to get nursery admission form for Ave Maria school? As I was not able to locate any details about it...

@Anupam

No you need to go to the school to collect form. It opens only till 12:00 PM. Last date i believe is 10th Jan

Thanks Ratandeep for sharing your experience, are you staying outside dwarka?

Last to Last year they were demanding 70k and this time 81K, believe me the school will get lot many admissions using this. Many parents who are residing in Hari Nagar, Vikas Puri, Tilak nagar etc..will take admission here as they will not fit in admission criteria(Distance etc..). Many EWS/Management seats etc will be filled like this.

Last but not the least clap for you for not giving any donation. Parents please feel free to share your experiences if you have any like this.

@ rakesh 

You are right Ave maria's address and phone number seems to be a closely guarded secret. 

It is in Bamoli village, if you have seen the new primary branch of Mount Carmel in sec 28, ave maria is near it. 

google maps has its location. 

https://www.google.co.in/maps/place/Ave+Maria/@28.546646,77.030841,...!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x390d1a68675dbd71:0x62074a66de261743

we drove up to mount carmal(28) and asked local ppl, none of them were able to direct us to this school. and my husband got tired and we left without seeing this school.

i was very keen on this school, since my friends son goes to St mary's, and has given glowing reviews about at Mary's. 

good luck locating it, if you do let me know, if they are still giving out forms. 

My son got admitted in Indian Heights 2 years back and I didnt pay anything except the normal annual/1st time admission charges. You can get thru the newer & not so popular schools like IHS/DIS/Presidium/MBS even later without paying this much amount as no of folks applying is less and defaulters are more (those who dont join as they get admission to other more sought after ones)

@ Abhat

since you are a parent, please provide first hand feed back in Indian heights.

Like 2 yrs back, Sought after money minded premium schools like Maxfort, VIS/SVIS/Indraprastha are doing the same this year too - exactly the same - calling parents to school and asking them to pay spl amount for sureshot seats. Seems nothing has changed. Those that stand out Relatively in terms of integrity are also still the same - Bal Bharti, Mount carmel, DPS.

@Shivshankari

IHS is a good school from Step1,2 (Nursery KG) perspective. Being new gen school You get International school facilities at reasonable fees (much lesser as compared to others)  including Tab kids etc. As such I dont have cons for it. Areas it lacks is, being new like other similar newer schools they are taking time to stabilise, teachers seems to be paid less are less experienced and they switch mid session, course content is changed at times etc.

@ Abhat

thank you for your valuable input, we need more first hand information like this instead of newspaper ratings.

wrt to BBPS, MCS DPS i agree they seem to be very fair in their process

THis is again my personal opinion - most of the premium schools (or so called international) in Dwarka are good for nursery KG (personal attn, facilities, activities, playway method etc) and if the parents have shorter plans of staying in delhi then it shouldnt matter much.

Its for higher/long term where it matters. Like in my case IHS is having not so good reputation for class 1 onwards - where you get single teacher managing 30-40 students in almost all schools and experience/stability matters a lot then.And this is where one wants to go for DPS/Mt carel etc kind of schools for with proven reputation and time tested.

Hello Vipin.
This is disappointing when you say all this to someone who helps. I stay in Janak Puri but I have filled most of my forms in Dwarka only and moreover I have only shared on people requests what happened with me. I am surprised you write this here. I thought we all are parents here and we always have private inboxes to chat something against (if anyone wants). I am sorry if anyone is hurt but intentions were only to help. I went to Schools for admissions who called me before and so shared. Thanks!

@Abhat

You wrote really good points.

@Rajesh Chopra. You have to visit the school & collect the form.

Ave Maria address: 
164, Banmoli, Sector 28, Dwarka, Delhi - 110075
