Go through the lists provided by the schools, clear your doubts during the objection period (24 Jan–3 Feb 2026), and fulfil all the requirements if you are selected.​

Monthly Fees

The fees vary greatly from one school to another. The monthly fee for Nursery can be as low as ₹155 or as high as ₹31,400, depending on the school’s infrastructure and curriculum. For example, schools like BJS Public School or Mother’s Pride have fees of ₹6,000–12,000 and ₹11,000–19,000, respectively. Always confirm the exact fee structures from the school websites, as they have to display the structures per the DoE regulations.
