@npslkg - what I wanted to highlight is the utter discourtesy they show to parents. If you are convinced that money and influence does not play a role, why is the selection process so hush hush? Why cannot they publish the list of selected students on their website for all to see? At least Bethany high had the decency to display a formal list.

For every example you cite of the school's so called transparency, there are enough examples of folks with 'connections' getting an audience with the school's chairman for admissions. A formal 'bribe' is not needed here; each successful parent (like you I imagine) will as it is be paying a lumpsum donation which is known by a variety of names, 'one time admission fee' being just one of those.
You contradict yourself when you say that you cannot base your kids future on NPS while you kept trying for admission every year (by your own admission you got through on your third attempt) I hope you are a genuine parent writing about your experience and not a NPS stooge. If you are the former, I wish your child all the best and hope he/she enjoys going to school at NPS, if you are the latter then well...I reserve my comments.
Schools have become what everybody knows they are - another avenue to milk folks of their hard earned money by exploiting the most fundamental instinct of humans - parental instincts. While the money part is now commonly accepted, what I cannot stomach is the disdain with which legitimate fee paying parents are treated.

No, I am not an NPS stooge. And no, I am not very successful either. But yes, I got a seat in NPS by sheer luck and maybe a bit of persistence. And I understand more than half the non-sibling students get it in the second/third time only. Maybe they keep a record. (I just helped create another urban legend regarding them.)
Also, there was no significant one-time lumpsum payment during admission either. Out of the total 1,06,250/=, a huge chunk of 93K was tuition fee. Admission fee was 5K and activity fee was 7,500/=. They charged another 750/= for some insurance. That's all. Not a penny more, other than what we may pay for uniform and transport (should be ~20K). And I hear that their fee structure has been like this for a long long time. In fact, I found parents reporting the admission fee of 5K even in 2006.
As I said, I agree about the transparency and responsiveness part. Maybe some influential guys are even able to meet the Chairman Sir. I did not get that impression from their reception though. I was certainly not one of the fortunate ones. And I did not pay any donation. Cannot comment beyond that.
I took the risk of waiting for NPS for my daughter for I was sure that I could get any of the other "regular" schools next year while she enjoyed one more year of her childhood in her playschool. Maybe it was not a good idea, but it paid off. But even if it had not turned out this way, I would have made her take their entrance exams for higher classes, at least for Std. I.
I had disagreements with my spouse on this very point. She used to get critical sometimes, especially after a few branches declared their results. But my point was that we had applied to them knowing fully well that this was a lottery. So why crib? They did not beg us to apply to them. And we knew all along that there would be no explanations given for the rejection (like we don't know what worked for us).
So while I don’t at all disagree that they can make the whole process much better and easier for parents like some other schools (e.g. Baldwin, Bishop, Bethany, Deens, FAPS) have done, I will not accept the other allegations unless made by someone who got the seat that way. Trust me, that will be a very very disappointing piece of information for me.
PS: I don't think NPS needs stooges to build their reputation any longer. I can understand your disdain for them. But at least respect a fellow parent who is just telling a slightly different story (first hand).
