Hi all,

I was called today by school administration of Rukmini Devi Public School, Pitampura for a meeting for admission of my son in Pre- Primary. I was communicated that it is verification of documents and discussion with the chairman before the admission. I went with my wife and my son, while the meeting was short I and my wife were asked about our profession and qualifications and some other general information about our residence. Thereafter the gentleman whom we met directed us to the accounts person saying that you can check the fee structure and if that suits you then you can deposit the requisite fee and accomplish the admission formalities in next few days as we have limited seats.(Though no information on seats for Pre-primary were disclosed earlier at the time of form filling)

We met the accounts person and this is what he told us regarding the admission fee. They were pretty smart and  instead of providing anything in black or white the finance guy hand over to us a piece of paper to note down. The breakup told to me orally is as follows

1. Total Annual Tuition fee- 1,19,800 (INR) hence the per month fee works out to be 9983.33(INR)

2. Fee to be deposited at the time of admission- 40,000(INR)- It does not include any month's tuition fee payment but is also termed as tuition fee by the school

3. The balance i.e. 119800- 40000= 79,800(INR)  or 6,650(INR) pm is what they call as monthly tuition fee

4. Additionally 2,000(INR) pm or 24,000(INR) pa is for transport cost

5. The final disclosure was amazing that we have to pay Rs 50,000(INR) additionally as my son is being admitted into Pre- primary (since he will be 4+ in this month). This amount is on part of the reason my son has studied in different school(Play-school for an year)

So the Total annual cost works out to be 119800+24000+50000=1,93,800(INR) or 16150(INR) pm

So finally hearing about the exorbitant fee I thought that I should make other parents and forum aware about the same.

I don't recommend this school to anyone as this just seem to be a business institution and not an educational institution.
