Utpal Shanghvi Global School
On this page
Utpal Shanghvi Global School is a private day school in Juhu, Mumbai, offering both the ICSE curriculum and the Cambridge IGCSE pathway under one roof. It gives western suburb families a choice between an Indian board education and an international qualification without changing schools.
The school is a well established name in the JVPD Scheme part of Juhu. This profile from our guide to international schools in Mumbai covers its two curriculum routes, fees, admissions and location, so relocating parents can see how its blended model compares with the city fully international options.
Overview
Utpal Shanghvi Global School runs as a co-educational day school in one of Mumbai most settled residential districts. Its defining feature is that it carries two academic streams side by side, which lets a family keep an Indian board option open while still reaching for an internationally recognised qualification if that suits the child plans.
That dual track design appeals to families who are not certain whether they will stay in India long term or move on again. It offers a measure of flexibility that single curriculum schools cannot, and it does so at a fee level that is far gentler than the dedicated international campuses in south and central Mumbai.
As an independent guide, GlobalSchoolGuide does not accept payment from schools to be listed. This profile is drawn from public information and is intended to help families orient themselves before they contact the school directly.
Curriculum and academics
The school offers two routes. The ICSE stream follows the Indian school certificate curriculum administered by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), with assessments at the end of Class 10. The international stream follows Cambridge IGCSE, the qualification set by Cambridge International that is taken by pupils in more than one hundred and fifty countries.
Cambridge IGCSE sits within the British style international tradition, so families choosing that route are effectively opting into a globally portable system. If you want to understand how that pathway works, including exam boards and progression to A Levels, our British curriculum guide explains the structure that Cambridge IGCSE belongs to and how it is recognised by universities abroad.
Running both streams means the school timetable, assessment calendar and subject choices differ between the ICSE and Cambridge cohorts. Parents deciding between the two should ask how each is staffed and resourced, and how transfers between streams are handled, before committing to one track.
Utpal Shanghvi Global School fees
Fees sit in the affordable to mid band for Mumbai, with the ICSE stream generally lower and the Cambridge IGCSE stream higher, which reflects the cost of running an international programme. The school does not publish a complete fee schedule, so families should confirm current numbers directly. As a guide, fees fall into the bands below relative to the wider international school fees in Mumbai.
| Programme | Indicative band |
|---|---|
| ICSE (to Class 10) | Low to mid relative to Mumbai international schools |
| Cambridge IGCSE | Mid relative to Mumbai international schools |
| Senior secondary | Mid relative to Mumbai international schools |
Beyond tuition, families should budget for one off registration and admission costs, a refundable deposit where applicable, and annual charges for transport, books, uniforms and activities. The Cambridge route also carries examination entry fees that the Indian board route does not.
Admissions
The academic year runs from June, in line with the Indian school calendar, so the main application window opens in the months before that start. Places in the western suburbs are competitive, and mid year seats are limited, so families relocating outside the main intake should enquire early.
Admission typically involves an enquiry and registration step, document submission, and an interaction or readiness assessment suited to the age of the child. Families choosing the Cambridge stream should confirm the entry point and any prior schooling requirements, as these can differ from the ICSE track. Exact dates and steps are best confirmed with the school admissions office.

The school sits in the JVPD Scheme area of Juhu, a planned residential pocket in Mumbai western suburbs that has long been popular with families. Juhu offers a settled, leafy environment close to the beach and within reach of the Andheri and airport corridor, which keeps commutes manageable for parents working across the western belt.
Pupils are largely local Mumbai families, with some returning Indian and expatriate families drawn by the option of a Cambridge route close to home. For parents who value an established neighbourhood school with an international exit option, the Juhu location and dual curriculum together are the main draw.
