   Well, true and false. The calls were made on Friday 19th and the interviews were done on Monday and hence closed on Monday and for some who did not have a draft ready immediately, will be closed today.

   At least this is what happened with us. I received a call on Friday intimating a time on Monday, where they were a lot of anxious looking parents. Found out that they had a lot of Interviews scheduled in the day. 15 minutes per ward, maybe even lesser (could be 2 in the same slot), which means in 8 hours, they could have completed the 60 for KG1.

   I heard gathered that the Montessori (30 wards) were indeed closed for the year already, but was different for the Sasken branch (for which the calls would still be before 24th, as the school closes for Christmas).

   Bottom-line, for all anxious parents it has got to be before the 23rd or before, for this year’s admissions.

   To all you folks who want to put your children in NPS, think carefully. I studied in that school from 1962 to 1973. I had the worst experience as a child and was brought up in a regimental fashion. The school is what it is today because of students and not because of the school teachers/policy. One of my friend’s daughter was not faring well in studies. NPS gave her a transfer certificate at grade 10 and asked her to leave in 2008. They practice this routinely and it is small wonder why they get 100% pass results. Having said that, there is no perfect school and at the end of the day, give your children a good environment to study at home and if required, give tuitions & select a school that your child will feel like going to. I get preference for a seat at NPS as I am an ex-student, but I did not put my child in NPS. NPS also does a fine job of marketing itself by regularly inviting the media and showing off achievements of it students and not reporting how many were kicked out of the school in the earlier years. So take care and good luck.

   I am from Delhi and did not even know a school with this name existed till I shifted to Bangalore….A friend’s son is studying in NPS in LKG & almost every second day she has to leave office to attend to one or the other complaint from the teacher…if they cannot handle even LKG kids by themselves, what are they worth! As for the so called hype about academics….DPS / Kumaran LKG students are way ahead in their curriculum and personality development than the NPS students! I pity Bangaloreans for trusting in a wierd opaque organisation like this and allowing it to hype itself!

   Here is my experience with NPS HSR:

   - Moment I walked in, the lady at reception was continously on personal call and let me wait for 10 mins
   - Moment I asked about admission forms, she was giving me gestures as if I did some crime by approaching her. She rudely asked me to enquire later.
   - She did not allow me to check the school classrooms / labs (not even escorted; btw classes were off by that time), whereas other schools feel happy and proud about showing the school to you
   - She was rude enough to make me walk out of the school without any further questions
   - There is no play ground seen in the school

   Also, I learnt from from my friends that academics is what your child gain in NPS and no extra-curricular. They would prefer kids of parents with annual income not less than 15 lacs else your child will not even get shortlisted.

   Prefrence would be given to those with one of the parent not working.

   Hi All,
   Can any body tell me the selection criteria. On what basis they will select the candidate. Is it based on parents background or child merit. If its based on merit, for mont and KG’s do they have any test for kids.

   My father forgot to ask for the last date to return the application forms in HSR and Korm NPS. I tried to reach both schools on phone (got # from the website) and no response. Please post correct phone#’s of both HSR/korm NPS and last date to return the applications forms.
   Thanks

   Why should any school here give preference to NRI? What is so special with NRI and US Passsport.

   You have to also wait in the queue to collect the application in any schools.

   Do not ask such stupid questions.

    Hi,

    I think your son would be eligible to start Mont-2 in June 2010 as he will be 3y 8 months. Why do you want to change to LKG from montessori stream?

    Also look other good schools following montessori. Admission process is already started.

    As someone mentioned in an earlier posting, NPS is a very much “hyped-up” school. I wrote quite a long message, but deleted it all for obvious reasons. All I will say now is that dont say you were not warned….it is not a school, but a military establishment.

    Even I faced a rude answer from the admission section on my enquiry on schedule. She said one liner “not decided yet”, and before I asked another another question, she hung up. Not sure why this school is so hyped up.

    My son would be 3yrs by 12Sept, 10, I would like to know whether he would be eligible for admission in NPS.

    I recieved a very cold reply from NPS admin staff when I enquired about the admission forms. On asking whether there will be forms available in Oct, the lady was so rude and mentioned “come back and enquire later, not everyone is lucky to get admitted in NPS”. I could not understand the context. Can someone explain what is so great in NPS that people feel lucky to have their children get admitted in NPS?

    Hi,

    I think 3 Years 7 months ( By June 2010 ) is overage to start Mont-0.
    In general ideal age to start the montessori program is when the child is 2.5 Years. So if the school is following montessori strictly they should take kids in the age band of 2.5 to 3 for Mont-0, 2.5 being the right age to start the program. Pls go through any standard montessori website to know more.
    Just wondering why did you delay if you had a plan to go for montessori.

    When I called this school today, the lady who picked the call sounded not welcoming at all. She said they won’t allow parents to see the classroom infrastructure.
