Admission Process at DPS Visakhapatnam
The school’s published admission policy states that registration for the next academic session is generally carried out from the second half of December through January. Written tests and subsequent interviews are normally held in February or March, after which the final list of selected candidates is displayed by the school. The new academic session begins from the first working day of April.
For classes where a written assessment is required, the school states that the test covers English, Hindi and Mathematics. Nursery applicants follow a different process and are called for an interaction with the school team along with their parents. The school also conducts an orientation programme for new parents.
Registration and admission charges can change by session and student category. Parents should confirm the current 2026-27 application or registration amount directly with the school before making any payment.
Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility at DPS Visakhapatnam depends on the class applied for, seat availability and performance in the school’s prescribed selection process. Nursery applicants are assessed through an interaction, while applicants to other classes may have to clear the written test and interview before admission is confirmed.
The publicly searchable admission policy does not give a complete class-wise age chart or fixed marks cut-offs for the 2026-27 session. Parents should therefore verify the minimum age, previous-class requirement and any class-specific conditions with the admission office before submitting the form. Registration alone should not be treated as final admission.

FAQs
Q1. Are the fees the same for VSP and non-VSP students?

Q2. Is the caution money refundable?
The current fee references describe the caution money as refundable. Parents should ask the school office about the refund procedure, deductions if any, and the documents required when the student leaves the school.
Q3. Is school transport included in the monthly tuition fee?
No. Transport is listed separately and is charged according to the applicable route or stage. Families using the bus service should confirm the current route availability and transport amount before admission.
Q4. What are the withdrawal and Transfer Certificate rules?
The school’s published withdrawal policy requires a clear calendar month’s notice in writing or one month’s fee in lieu of notice. A Transfer Certificate is issued only after school dues are settled. The policy also states that students leaving in May must pay the fee for June.
