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.
