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. Well, true and false.

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. To all you folks who want to put your children in NPS, think carefully. I studied in that school from 1962 to 1973.

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!

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.

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. Hi All,

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.
