Vidyasagar, Bhoopasandra

It seems so difficult to get in to this school. They misguide you on phone saying come back in Jan for admissions.. and then suddenly one friend informed that they had already started registering for next year(in December)!! Now that our kid is in waiting list, we are sure they will not even call our kid!

If you didn't get admission first, Only right influence can get you admission to this school.. If you are on waiting list, forget it. Even being within waiting list 10 last year, we didn't get admission(while someone who used influence go through!)

There is no transparency in the system as far as admissions are concerned.

The previous reviews look to be misleading and based on assumptions.

I know a case where a child got admission without any influence and after undergoing very rigorous interview. What I understand is that the school follows a very good screening method (which of course can become very subjective) for deciding who should be called for interview
and then the interview follows.

The Above Comments are absolutely true and its seems Mr Anand either is the employee there or he is just sticking to one single example. Vidyasagar is another one example of commercialized study surrounding for our very little kids with lot of strain to parents. Not at all transparent and very pathetic to get the admission here.

We going to from december

What is rigorous interview for a 1.5yr old child?
This school has the most peculiar admission process. they give 2000+ application forms at Rs.500 each for 270 seats in playgroup. The admission process is not transparent and is lottery based. Your lucky if you've got in. Right from the principal, the teachers are dishonest. Not sure how much honesty and character they build in the students
Preference is given to non-kannada folks.
Admissions are confirmed before application forms are given. 90% of students come in posh cars. Go by 11am and you'll not be able to cross the school without a jam!

Even i feel the comments above are misleading , they have a very good way of screening ... they don't ask any question to a kid ..they just observe the kids interactiveness and the way he/she plays with the toys ...
My kid got selected , she was just 1.5 yr while giving her interview ....
I loved the way they screen kids !!! .....

Excellent school in terms of exposure it provides..

Hi regarding their admission process is first thing usually if you opt for vidya shilp you have good chance,if vidhya nekatan its difficult I had a very bad experience the same family I opted for vidyanekatan and my daughter was not selected even though she could speak clearly and did well in the interview.The same side her cousin brother who even couldn't speak ,neither did well in interview was selected as he opted for vidhya shilp.

As regards the admission procedure is concerned, out of the total no. of applications, only a few are rejected and most of the applications are called for interviews.
In the interview they let the child play with colours, abacus, sand, blocks, etc. while the teachers are observing them and noting the
behavior of the child, if the child is listening to the parent, etc.
Out of that, a bunch of kids, can say lucky ones, are randomly chosen (performance of the child in the interview or influence are not the basis for selection, its more if luck)
We were a group of 6 friends who all tried at the same time, none of us used influence, 4 of us got calls while 2 did not.
After my first child, my younger one got it easily under the sibling quota.

As regards the teaching is concerned, we are very happy.
Our children have learnt a lot, be it language, discipline, being independent, etc
Curriculum is strict with homework, charts, etc from Nursery level and there are regular PTMs, celebrations of festivals and national days
From 2016-17 batch new Principal and a few teachers have taken over, improving the standards from earlier years. Initially there were issues of lavatory but now all resolved.
Excellent transparency with regard to child growth, facilities in school, curriculum or anything for that matter.
The crowd is mixture of all classes of society, so it is balanced without complexes.
Overall an excellent school to be at.
