The process involves filling a registration form (online or at the school office), an informal interaction or aptitude test for the child, and submission of documents such as birth certificate, previous school Transfer Certificate, Aadhaar, and photographs. IB and IGCSE schools in Kanpur often accept applications year-round. Once selected, the admission fee and first-term tuition must be paid to confirm the seat.
