Joining the Dalhousie family.
Admissions are open across both campuses, for LKG through Class XII. We look for character and curiosity first, and we try to make the process feel human at every step.
The process
Four steps, thoughtfully done.
Assessment
Pre-prep is assessed on curiosity and engagement; Grades III-X sit an entrance exam.
A day on campus
Shortlisted children spend a day with us across six activities, character over cramming.
Offer & enrol
Receive your offer and confirm your child's place in the Dalhousie family.
What to bring
Documents we will need.
- Attested birth certificate
- Aadhar card (student and parents)
- Previous report cards (Grade 1 onward)
- Transfer certificate with PEN & APAAR ID
- Passport-size photographs
Age is taken as on 31 March of the admission year. Terms begin in June, October and January, and class sizes are capped at twenty-two to keep every child known.
What we look for
Character over cramming.
In the early years we look for curiosity and engagement; for Grades III to X there is a short entrance exam. Shortlisted children then spend a day on campus across six activities, so we can see character, drive and how they get along with others, not just what they can memorise.
Children of armed-forces families are warmly welcomed.

Read it before you decide.
Two documents answer most of what parents ask us first. Both open straight away, with no form to fill in.
You can also read the fees on this site. Schedules for Classes XI and XII, and for New Chandigarh, are issued by the admissions office.
