Admission season opens early in Ranchi, fees top Rs 2,500
The Story in Brief
Admission forms for the 2027-28 session opened early in Ranchi, with schools including DPS Ranchi, DAV Public School Hehal, Sarla Birla Public School, Nirja Sahay DAV Public School and Firayalal Public School inviting applications. Registration fees range from over Rs 1,000 at most schools to Rs 1,500 at Firayalal Public School and Rs 2,500 at DAV Public School Hehal.
At Nirja Sahay DAV, admission from nursery to Class II is direct on the same day after a child interaction and submission of birth certificate and Aadhaar. DAV Hehal requires a written test in January for Classes I to IX, while Class X stream allocation depends on percentage criteria. Parent Arjun Kumar said applying to multiple schools means paying each registration fee before selection, calling education increasingly expensive.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The early opening of applications shifts cost and decision pressure onto families before academic choices can be meaningfully compared. Registration fees, starting above Rs 1,000 per school and rising to Rs 1,500 or Rs 2,500, make multi-school evaluation an upfront expense. Compulsory child interaction, written tests and percentage-based stream allocation mean selection happens on the school's terms well before the session begins. Parents with children in higher classes face added uncertainty if stream allocation depends on marks. The process remains open through mid-November for some schools, and written tests are scheduled for January.
