For families comparing international schools in Bangalore alongside strong national curriculum options, Delhi Public School Bangalore is one of the best known names, carried by the wider reputation of the Delhi Public School Society. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its curriculum, fees and admissions.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed. The DPS name in Bangalore covers more than one campus, so confirm with the specific site nearest you, and where a detail is not published we say so rather than guess.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
DPS Bangalore follows the CBSE curriculum, the national framework that leads to the All India Senior School Certificate at Grade 12, with some campuses also offering the Cambridge IGCSE route. CBSE suits families who expect to stay within the Indian system or who value its structured progression and its alignment with national entrance examinations.
Families who specifically want an international pathway should weigh DPS against the city's IB and Cambridge schools, because the boards lead in different directions at university entry. Our guide to the IB Diploma explains how that international route compares, and is worth reading before you choose between a CBSE and an international school.

Delhi Public School Bangalore fees
Delhi Public School Bangalore fees generally sit in a more accessible band than the city's premium international schools, which is part of the appeal of a strong CBSE option. Rates vary by campus and grade, and each site publishes its own schedule, so confirm the current figures with the specific DPS campus rather than relying on a single number. For where the more affordable options sit, see our roundup of the most affordable schools in Bangalore, and for the full picture see international school fees in Bangalore.
As with any school, the headline tuition is not the whole cost. The components families usually meet on top are set out below.
- Registration: a one off application or registration charge, normally non refundable
- Deposit: a place or caution deposit on acceptance to confirm enrolment
- Examination entry: board entry fees in the senior grades
- Extras: transport, uniform, meals, technology and trips
Admissions
DPS Bangalore admits for the Indian school year, and each campus runs its own registration window with assessments and interactions suited to the age group. Because the DPS name spans several sites, the process and the available year groups differ between campuses, so apply to the specific school you want.
Demand for the established DPS campuses is strong, so register early and keep recent reports to hand. Ask each campus about its current intake months and any waiting list if you are relocating off cycle.
Location and who goes there
The DPS campuses are spread across Bangalore, including sites in the east of the city near the Sarjapur Road corridor, which keeps a DPS option within reach of many of the residential and technology areas where families settle. Choose the campus by commute as much as by name, since the sites differ in setting and facilities.
