Admission Procedure
CNIS admits students who can be successful in the regular academic programme of
Cambridge University, known as Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). In the
admissions and educational policy of the school there is no discrimination of any
sort on the basis of religion, caste, gender or nationality. Admission is awarded
simply on the basis of professional criteria, like:
- The potential of the applicant to benefit from the educational services provided;
- The capacity of the school to meet the educational needs of the applicant, including
English (which is the medium of instruction).
- The ability of the selected student to meet the behavioural and/or emotional capability
expected of a student of this school.
In normal case the children who enter the first Grade should be six years old; rarely
exceptions are made. The secondary factors that affect Grade placement are previous
educational system, academic success with the previous system, additional assessment
by CNIS, and academic calendar.
CNIS begins the academic year on the first working day of June.
CNIS has adopted the following criteria and procedures for the admission of students:
- Admissions are open to I to XII Grades.
- Students who have secured at least 70% in the previous final examinations are eligible
