Admissions
Online Registrations for admission to classes Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Preparatory, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX in academic session 2027-28 will commence on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Admissions schedule for the next phase, subject to availability of vacancies in various classes, will be published on this page in January, 2027. You must read and acquaint yourself with the various rules and procedures for registering your ward, before online Registrations begin on September 19, 2026.
Do note –
1. The Birth Certificate issued by a Municipal Corporation or an equivalent authority designated by the Government, is the only document accepted as proof of birth. Certificate of birth issued by a hospital, or affidavit, is not accepted. You will be required to upload a clear, scanned copy of the Birth Certificate of the child, issued by a Municipal Corporation; failure to do so will result in cancellation of Registration without any reference. No extension will be granted for uploading the Birth Certificate with the Registration Form.
2. Age Criteria for classes Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Preparatory and I will not be relaxed under any circumstances. Requests for relaxation in the age criteria will not be responded to. Also note that filling up a wrong date of birth will render the Application Form invalid. In such cases, the Registration Form will be cancelled and Registration Fee forfeited without any further reference.
3. If you register your ward for admission to Class II and above, it is mandatory that your child must be studying in the current academic session, 2026-27, in the class previous to the one applied for. For instance, you may register your child for Class IV only if s/he is studying presently in Class III. Evidence of your child studying in the class previous to the one registered for, will need to be uploaded with the Registration Form.
4. Introduction Session will be conducted in physical mode, requiring the candidate and parents to visit the school office on the designated date. However, if the candidate currently resides in a different city and you have uploaded his/her current proof of residence, the facility of online Introduction Session, including Admission Assessment only for Classes VI to IX, will be made available. You can choose “Online Introduction Session” before submitting the Registration Form. It is reiterated that the facility of online Introduction Session will be available ONLY to outstation candidates.
Please read the emails that are sent during the Registrations process.
5. The schedule for Introduction Sessions will be communicated through email on or before Saturday, October 03, 2026. Please also check your SPAM mailbox, just in case our email lands up there. Intimation regarding non-receipt of email containing the Introduction Session schedule must be sent to admissions@dpspune.com by 09:00 a.m. on Monday, October 05, 2026.
6. There will be no change in the date and time allotted for the Introduction Session. Requests for rescheduling Introduction Session, or any of the other processes of admission, will not be responded to.

School Transport
- School Transport is compulsory for all students, except those who reside in areas in the vicinity / walking distance of the school. No other reason like distance from the nearest bus stop, family / health concerns or any such issue will be considered to allow 'supervision'.
- No change to supervision will be permitted after admission is granted. Seeking change from school transport to “supervision” would result in withdrawal of the offer of admission, if your child has been selected. In case you request for “supervision” after admission, the admission of your ward is liable to be cancelled. Exception to this rule will only be made on a case-to-case basis if the family relocates to own (not rented) accommodation within the supervision area after admission. However, such a request, ONLY on this ground, must be received by the school latest by February 15, 2027.
- You will have to choose only the bus stop appropriate for your child. The bus stop may be changed later on an application to the school, as per defined procedure. Please refer to the tentative list of proposed bus stops for the next academic session 2027-28 posted in another link on the Admissions page.
IMPORTANT: Even though our school buses may be going to some unlisted bus stops, these are going to be phased out and hence, not available for students taking admissions in academic session 2027-28. - In case of “supervision”, if the vehicle transporting your ward(s) is found violating any of the rules laid down by appropriate authorities, we are required by law to report the vehicle to the appropriate authority. You shall then have to begin using school transport or an alternative mode of transport which is safe, legal and conforms to the prescribed rules.
- Bus Stops are created taking into consideration a range of issues like number of students at a particular Stop, convenience of larger number of school transport users and turnaround time for school buses. The school reserves the right to create, cancel or relocate a particular bus stop. Hence, your requests in these matters, though welcome, may not be found implementable by the school authorities. You need to appreciate that the school has the welfare of the larger student community in mind while taking such decisions and persistent pestering of school authorities in such matters is not welcome.
Fees
Payment at the time of Admission - The amount and method of payment of fees before final admission formalities of your ward are completed, will be explained in detail in the email communicating your ward’s result (if selected for admission).
Payment of Annual Miscellaneous Charge and Bi-monthly Education and Transport (if applicable) Fees - These fees will be collected only through National Automated Clearing House (NACH) once the e-NACH Mandate is registered. After you have paid the prescribed fees towards admission, an email will be sent by the school, giving details of how to fill up and submit the e-NACH Mandate online for registration with NPCI. Please ensure that the bank account details filled up in the online e-NACH Mandate Form are correct and eligible for deduction of school fees. An e-NACH Mandate cannot be issued from an Overdraft or Cash Credit account. Admissions process will be completed only after registration of the e-NACH Mandate.
Do note that fees will be collected using the registered e-NACH Mandate from the beginning of the academic session 2027-28 and will be in force till your child is a student in our school. The fees will be collected from your bank account immediately on falling due. The school may or may not inform you before presenting the Mandate for fee collection. You are requested to keep track of the months in which fees become due and ensure that your account is sufficiently funded.
The school may or may not inform you in the event of any of the bi-monthly e-NACH Mandates being dishonoured. You should also track whether the Mandate is dishonoured and, if so, you are expected to deposit the dues, along with Administrative Charge, without any delay, through the payment gateway provided in school ERP.
