How to choose a school in East Delhi
Shortlist two or three schools and visit each with your child. Ask the same questions everywhere so the answers compare.
Board results: the share of students with a first division, not only the topper.
Distance and transport: the bus stop nearest you and how long the ride takes.
Fees: the full yearly amount, including one-time charges and transport.
Classes XI–XII: the streams offered and any JEE/NEET preparation in school hours.
Safety: CCTV, gate entry, transport staff and how the school reaches parents.
Activities: sports, arts and clubs your child will actually use.
Questions parents ask

How were these schools chosen?
