About Schools in Patna

Admission Process for Schools in Patna

Most CBSE, ICSE, and state board schools in Patna open admissions for the upcoming academic year between October and March.

InstiWise recommends shortlisting 2–3 schools in Patna based on board, locality, and budget before beginning applications.
