2026-27 fee position (verified 4 October 2026): under the Delhi High Court's direction in the fee-regulation litigation, private unaided schools collect the same fee for 2026-27 as for 2025-26 until a School-Level Fee Regulation Committee approves a new structure under the Delhi School Education (Transparency in Fixation and Regulation of Fees) Act, 2025. Any "2026-27 fee hike" figure on aggregator sites should be treated as unverified. Figures below are quoted from the school's own published schedule with the session stated.
