Admission
A seat in the classroom, a place in the story
Admissions at St. John's are open for LKG through Class VIII, and for the Higher Secondary section. What follows is the whole of it — how a child is assessed, what to bring, what Class XI asks for, and how fees are paid.
LKG to Class VIII, and Classes XI & XII
Forms and closing dates for each session are notified by the office and on the school notice board. Leave an enquiry and the office will tell you what is open for your child's class.
What We Look For
A combination of aptitude and attitude
The goal of the school is to turn out citizens who excel in the classroom and who also possess the moral principles, character traits and social and ethical values needed to make a constructive contribution to society.
Both are therefore tested during the admissions process. The test does not only evaluate a student's knowledge of the basic courses; it also looks at their aptitude for solving problems. Assessed this way, the child can be judged as a whole person rather than on recall alone.
All boys and girls, regardless of caste, creed, social standing or religion, are welcome to enrol in the school.
Classes I – VIII
Registration for the assessment
Four steps, in the order the office works through them.
Read, then collect the form
The admission form is bound into the prospectus. Parents are urged to read the prospectus and the material on this website carefully before filling it in.
Submit it complete
Hand the completed hard copy in at the school office with the admission fees, within the time frame notified — with recent passport-size colour photographs of the candidate, the father and the mother properly attached.
Screening
Only applications found to be entirely complete in all respects are taken forward, after careful examination, to the entrance test or evaluation.
Entrance test and interview
Acceptance is contingent on the interview and the entrance exam. Submitting an application does not by itself secure a seat.
Checklist
Documents to submit at the time of admission
Photocopies for the school file; originals brought along for verification.
- Original report card from the previous school year, and a certificate of graduation or the Transfer Certificate (TC). Without these, no student is admitted from Class UKG onwards.
- A photocopy of the birth certificate. The original is to be shown for verification only.
- A current colour photograph of the candidate and their parents, together with passport-size photographs.
- A copy of the student's Aadhaar card — or the parents' Aadhaar card if the student does not yet have one.
Any discrepancy between the information provided on the application and the supporting documentation will result in the cancellation of the admission.
Before you fill the form
Parents are urged to read the prospectus and the other pertinent material on this website carefully before completing the application for admission.

Two ways to pay, three places to do it
School fees may be paid in person at the school fee counter, or online.
At the fee counter
Fees may be paid in person at the school fee counter on any working day.
Online
The school offers an online payment option through the school website and the school app.
School QR code

Fees already paid are not refunded
