| ![]() You could term it as that, yes. As long as it's not in lakhs am a happy guy. I don't know of a single school who wouldn't charge the one time admission fee. 20k doesn't make much of a difference considering the education my son receives for 25k fees per year. |

| ![]() @Manish: Thank you for your inputs. It just shows that you love your school and so does your son. @shipnil: I would say that admission fee is *not* donation. There is another term called development fee which is more like a donation. If you don't get a receipt, then it is definitely donation. Many schools (including Bishops Kalyani Nagar) ask for donation in some way, though on their website they say "strictly no donation". The well established 'brands' will collect money in some form or the others. The rest just take money by way of regular fees. Victorious Kids at Kharadi is charging Rs. 1.35 Lac for the day school (full day school 9 AM to 5:30 PM I think) for LKG. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() In case of such demands and corrupt practices you can write a letter to the education ministry. But of course, people tend to pay and not resort to complaints and actions as it impacts the future of the child studying in that school. |

| ![]() I am in the process of finalizing admission for my daughter in a school. I have a question regarding documents requested. The school requires Original birth certificate to be submitted to them. They are going to retain the same. Is this normal practice? This document could be required by various different agencies in future and I don't trust the schools to retain the document in good shape. Any alternatives? |

It is not a tactic as you can easily get any no. of original certificates from the concerned department(Panchayat office / Municipality / Corporation ), by applying for it with in a Rs.10/- Registration paper. | ||

The method that has been mentioned above is to get duplicate copies of the original bc(assuming the records in the birth registrar are still in place). Imagine the effort if the child is born is place A and currently staying in place B,its a humongous effort to even source the duplicate. | |

| ![]() This is okay only from school change perspective. The problem comes if you are applying for a visa to a country which requires you to submit birth certificate for verification. I myself had to submit my daughters birth certificate while applying for Swiss visa. So my worry is in future if I have to go onsite, I'll have to keep following up with the school and I don't trust them to retain the documents at all or in good shape. |

![]() I never had my own birth certificate. Even for green card, a affidavit was ok. Last edited by srishiva : 19th March 2013 at 15:09. | |

This is normal here in Bangalore I got 3 original copies of birthcertificate for my kid as none of the 3 copies carried a duplicate stamp they all are as good as original. Seems BBMP guys were aware of the issue and asked us to take 3 copies. | |
