Established in 2003 under the aegis of the Delhi Public School Society, the school has grown into a large urban campus with more than 3,000 students and a broad academic programme from Nursery to Class XII. Alongside regular classrooms, its infrastructure includes science, mathematics, language and computer laboratories, AR/VR facilities, a library, auditorium and sports complex.

Quick Details

Admission Process at DPS Chandigarh

Nursery is the entry class at DPS Chandigarh. Admission is conducted according to the Chandigarh Education Department guidelines and the Common Admission Schedule. The school states that Nursery seats are allotted through a draw of lots rather than a conventional entrance examination. Parents should therefore follow the dates, document requirements, seat break-up and draw information announced for the relevant session.

Admission to classes above Nursery is subject to vacancies. The academic year begins in April, and the school advises families seeking admission to other classes to approach the admissions team early, as most applications are reviewed from January onward. Class XI and XII students can choose five major subjects and one optional additional subject under the school’s flexible NEP 2020-based subject system.

For Nursery admission in 2026-27, the Chandigarh common admission schedule allowed schools to charge up to ₹150 as a registration fee from non-EWS/DG applicants. Please confirm the exact amount and payment method with DPS Chandigarh before submitting the form.

Eligibility Criteria

For the 2026-27 session, Chandigarh’s common admission schedule fixed the age for Pre-Primary Level I at 3 to 4 years as on April 1, 2026, covering children born between April 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. Parents applying to Nursery should check the school notice to make sure the child falls within the applicable entry-class age range.

For higher classes, eligibility depends on vacancy, previous academic performance and any assessment or interaction specified by the school. Class XI applicants should also check the subject combinations and current selection criteria before applying, since admission to a preferred combination is not automatic.

The fee amounts below are estimated reference figures based on the latest clearly published official DPS Chandigarh fee schedule, which is for 2025-26.
