For families comparing international schools in Bangalore that offer a complete international route from the early years through to university entry, Indus International School is one of the established IB names in the city. This profile sets out what GlobalSchoolGuide Editorial has verified about its curriculum, fees and admissions, so you can weigh it against the other options on your shortlist.
We are independent and no school pays to be listed, so this is a reference for relocating parents rather than promotion. Where a fact could not be confirmed from the school or a reliable source, we mark it as not published rather than guess.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Indus is an authorised IB World School that runs all three IB programmes, which is still relatively uncommon in Bangalore. Children begin in the Primary Years Programme, move into the Middle Years Programme through the middle grades, and finish with the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. That continuous structure suits internationally mobile households, because the inquiry led approach and the assessment style carry through from one stage to the next rather than changing board partway.
The IB Diploma keeps university options open across the United Kingdom, North America, Europe and Asia, and the wider Diploma core, with the extended essay and theory of knowledge, is built into the senior years. For families weighing the international route against other boards available locally, our roundup of the best international schools in Bangalore sets Indus in context with its peers, and the IB curriculum guide explains how the continuum fits together.
Boarding is part of the offer, which widens the catchment well beyond the immediate Sarjapur area and gives the community a more residential, internationally mixed character than a purely day school.

Indus International School fees
Indus International School fees sit in the premium band for Bangalore, reflecting the full IB continuum, the boarding provision and the large Sarjapur campus. We do not publish a fee table here because the school sets and updates its own schedule by grade, and boarding adds a separate charge on top of tuition. Confirm the live figures directly with admissions. For the wider picture across the city, see our guide to international school fees in Bangalore.
When you budget, look beyond the headline tuition. The components families typically meet on top are listed below, and boarding families should plan for the residential fee as a distinct item.
- Registration: a one off application or registration charge, normally non refundable
- Deposit: a place or caution deposit on acceptance to confirm enrolment
- Boarding: a separate residential fee for boarders, with meals and supervision
- Extras: transport, uniform, examination entry, technology and trips
Admissions
Indus admits in line with the international school year and considers applications through the year where places exist. Admissions normally reviews previous school reports and sets an assessment suited to the year group, with the senior grades weighed against the demands of the Diploma. Boarding applicants may have an additional conversation about residential readiness.
Demand for IB places in the Sarjapur corridor is steady, so register early for sought after year groups and ask about waiting lists if you are relocating outside the standard cycle. Keep recent reports and any external test results to hand, as these help the school place your child accurately.
Location and who goes there
The campus is in Sarjapur, in the south east of Bangalore, which places it within reach of the Sarjapur Road, Whitefield and Electronic City corridors where many international and technology sector families live. The scale of the site supports extensive sport and boarding alongside the academic programme.

We do not yet have verified parent reviews for Indus International School. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, so we publish reviews only once we can confirm they come from real families. If your child attends or has attended, share your experience through the school reviews hub and help the next relocating family decide with better evidence.
