Admissions: Registration and issue of applications start in October. NPS schools have started issuing forms for 2010-2011. Each branch follows its own dates. You have to contact in person.
Admission for Grade 1 to 9 and 11 is based on written test.
The admission procedure is totally opaque.

Fees: Each NPS has its own fee structure. NPS Rajaji Nagar is about 50K whereas HSR branch is above 65K. Check out with the school for details.

Activities: Music, dance, aerobics, theatre, vocals etc. These are conducted after school hours from 3rd standard.

Academics: Only from grade 6, semester system starts. For lower classes, monthly reviews are undertaken. For KG, daily evaluation is conducted.

Remarks: NPS is known to be more academically oriented. NPS Rajaji Nagar has been granted autonomy by the CBSE board.
The admission process is not transparent. It is better schools post details on their website than having to curse the recptionists.
Having applied to NPS once, they never called for interviews (for LKG) . When we kept asking them, they just kept telling us, we will inform. One fine day, they respond admissions are over.
So what do they expect in the application?

Hope you can share your experiences.
