Coming to integrated PUC courses, it is basically run by institutes/tutorials as they were referred to earlier. These guys have tied up with mostly small time PUC colleges and use their facilities/campus. Of course, now most of the classes are conducted online. This works well for those who want to pursue engineering/medicine/IIT courses. These institutions basically prepare them for the PUC exams as well as the various entrance exams. My personal opinion is that some of the institutes are focused more on how to crack the entrance tests rather than teach concepts to the students. As for my daughter, she wants to pursue a course in Design/Architecture, so prefers to study at one of good/old school PUC colleges. DQ Labs is one of institutions that provide coaching for the entrance tests related to these disciplines but we're currently undecided about enrolling her there.

| ![]() At this point do we know or can we be confident that it won't be risky next year ? We're dealing with a new unknown and lots of uncertainty, we just need to live with this in the new normal and take abundant precautions going forward not just this year but for several years probably. |

| ![]() Contrary to my apprehensions, National Public School is indeed conducting the entrance test for Class XI 2020-21, albeit in Online format for the very first time this year! It is scheduled for Sunday June 7 2020 and today (June 6) is the last date for Pre-registration to confirm. The email in this regard was sent on 5 June, so they're moving pretty quickly on the admissions front. *Of course one needs to have submitted the application form back in October 2019 Last edited by NPV : 6th June 2020 at 12:14. |

| ![]() City: Bangalore I have a slightly different question. June 2020 my kid should have been in LKG (Age: 3.6 yrs) but we are thinking to Home School him given the COVID situation for this year. If we proceed on these lines, how easy/difficult would it be to get him an admission for June 2021 for UKG? I believe the process of admissions for UKG for June 2021 also would be starting sometime around now as soon as COVID settles - is that right? Last edited by vsrivatsa : 7th June 2020 at 15:05. |

| ![]() Did you get an admission at 3.6 for lkg? My kid is sep born and missed cut offs at many schools. Most schools don't have a separate admission process for UKG. Generally based on vacancies and have to approach the school directly. Shouldn't be very difficult though. |

![]() Theoretical answer : should not be a big deal to get him admitted next year or another year later to class 1 Practical answer: some schools will not be forthcoming with admissions next year for UKG or if you try a year later to class 1 and they will (try their best to) use this situation to their advantage and try to make you feel desperate since you made the mistake of not admitting the child in LKG. When you show more keeness in getting the admission, they will collect the fees and then it will seem like a win-win situation. Sadly, this is how most schools in India work Also, your child needs to be 5 years 10 months old as of June 1 when joining Class 1. If possible, I would suggest delaying the child's admission by a year, it will only help the child more in terms of mental growth. My nephew is a November born who joined school a tad late and it helped immensely by the time he took the class X board exams ![]() Last edited by NPV : 8th June 2020 at 10:05. | |

| ![]() Please consider staying closer to the school, not a good idea to have children commute long distances for schooling. So, if you're looking for accommodation in Whitefield, don't have your son go to NPS, Indiranagar! Coming to CBSE schools in and around Whitefield, I would suggest adding the Euro school, Dean's Academy and Ryan International to your list, not sure about the fees part though. Edit: staying in varthur will give you the advantage of being somewhere mid way between your office locations at Prestige Shantiniketan, Whitefield & Pritech, Kadubeesanahalli (outer ring road). Varthur opens up more schooling options as well like TISB, Greenwood international etc but I'm not sure which of these are affiliated to CBSE though.
