Admissions

Admissions
1. Eligibility and age eligibility: Begin by confirming the child's age as of March 31, 2026. For Bal Vatika to Class IX, the school specifies age cutoffs: Nursery 3 years (as on 31-03-2026), LKG 4 years, UKG 5 years, Class I 6 years. This step ensures your child fits the class you are applying for and helps avoid ineligibility later in the process. The age rule is enforced for the 2026-27 session.

2. Online vs offline admission form: The application form for Bal Vatika to Class IX is filled online by the parents. Parents seeking admission to Class X, XI, and XII, as well as Non-Indian applicants, must complete the form offline at the school. This split means you should prepare to submit electronically for lower classes or in person for higher classes. Make sure you have a valid passport for matching details and avoid any mismatches in the form.

3. Complete and submit the online form (Bal Vatika–IX) or offline form (X–XII/Non-Indian): After filling the form, ensure all entries are correct and match passport details. Incomplete forms are not accepted. A correctly submitted form will generate a confirmation email containing a form registration number. You should print the entire application (all pages) using the “Admission Status” page before submitting documents.

4. Submit required documents to the school: Submit the printed form at the school office between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. on a working day, along with: two recent passport-size photographs of the child; birth certificate copy for Bal Vatika to Class I; original Transfer Certificate for classes I and above (or bonafide certificate if Transfer Certificate is not yet available, with submission of the original within one month); student resident card copy (or an undertaking if not available); and a copy of the last class's progress report. Bring copies of all documents uploaded online for verification.

5. Registration and diagnostic/test process: A non-refundable Registration fee of RO 6.00 is payable at the time of form submission. After document verification, the school will issue a diagnostic test notification to the parent's email. The pupil must attend the allotted diagnostic test date; for Bal Vatika and LKG, there may be an interaction with the admission committee.

6. Diagnostic test and admission decision: For UKG and above, a diagnostic test in all subjects may be conducted at admission time. The school's decision on admission is final. If the pupil cannot attend the diagnostic test due to an emergency, inform the school authorities and email the admission office with details; otherwise, the admission form may be rejected. A written test may also be administered in all subjects during admission, and the school's decision is final.

7. Test results and post-test steps: The diagnostic test result will be posted on the school notice board and published on the school website after three working days from the test date. Once results are declared, the parent must pay the admission fee (RO 25.00, non-refundable) and the Caution Money deposit (RO 100.00, refundable) at the school fee counter within seven working days to confirm admission.

8. Fees and installments: The annual school fee is payable in nine installments as per the school's fee chart. The first installment will be due if there is withdrawal or cancellation of admission; refer to the Withdrawal/TC instructions for details. Fees are payable through multiple modes (mobile app, online bank gateway, cash at the fee counter, Bank Muscat deposits, or net banking). The school notes that online fee receipts can be downloaded after payment; late fee is RO 1 per month for unpaid fees, and CDM payment is not accepted.

9. Admission confirmation and seat availability: Admission is subject to seat availability. If a seat is not available for the requested class, the school may ask the parents to re-submit or wait for subsequent intake, depending on current vacancies. This step finalizes the process and confirms that a seat has been allocated.
