Low budget or High budget, everybody has a chance here. One can select an institution which suits his budget. Even the physically and mentally handicapped children can get an education for themselves. One who don't have anyone of their own, is also not betrayed of his right to study.

• For poor, there are government and corporation schools/colleges. Even there are some private educational institutions  which relay on poor people! To talk about the quality of education here, it is worst... bad... and good! Anyway it is not untrue, that the basic education is available here.
• For middle class and upper middle class there are some government and many private educational institutions. There are again two different kinds of private institutions namely... Aided and Unaided institutions. The difference for a student is that the fees and donations are lesser in aided institutions than the unaided ones. Quality wise most of  these institutions are bad... better... and best
• For upper middle class and rich class there are a number of rich schools and colleges with a very rich atmosphere and five-star facilities. Fees and donations are quite high in the sky and not reachable to the people of  middle class and  below. Surely these are not for all. Quality of education is better and best.

• Many reputed schools have their own school buses or vans running between the location of the schools and the important parts of the city. Rates range from Rs.300 to Rs. 1000 per month.
• Many other schools and colleges have taken government and private buses on charter service instead of their own vehicles. Bus charges range from Rs.300 to Rs. 1000 per month, payable to schools.
• Auto & Cycle Rickshaw are still the popular mode of transport for primary and pre-primary school children. Depending on the distance, rates ranges from Rs.600 to Rs. 1000 per month.
• More than  all the city buses are available from any point to any point in the city. Student passes are issued by the government at subsidised rates, ie.. Bus pass rate for college students is, Rs.110 for 5 months, or  Rs.220 for 10 months, plus Rs.30 processing charge. For the Phd and evening college students it is Rs.330 for 10 months, plus Rs.30 processing charge.  This is generally popular among the High school and College students.

Facilities and Infrastructure: When compared to many other parts of India and the state itself, Bangalore as a whole, provides very good facilities and infrastructure for education. Around 30% of the schools and colleges have good infrastructure, while 20% lack even the basic requirements like toilets and class rooms. Remaining institutions provide partial infrastructures.

• Laboratory, Computers, Library and Playground: Only 30% to 40% of  the schools and colleges have these facilities.
• Very good school atmosphere, Swimming, auditorium etc..: A hand full number of schools have these facilities. Some private schools give cricket, dance, music, painting, karate etc.. extra curricular education

As far as the faculty is considered only a 40% schools and colleges have full time faculty. Rest of them have part-time teaching staff. Reputed schools have well qualified teachers and a number of private schools have "so called teachers."  Few schools are maintaining the teacher/students ratio narrow.

Admission details

• Admission Season: There will , generally, be a heavy rush for the admission for reputed schools, throughout the year. Though the admissions are done sometimes around April, May and June, distribution of  applications start from August, September and October. Parents have to Submit the duly filled-up forms, and schools allot a waiting list number.
• Admission Process: Generally, in reputed schools and colleges, admissions are made on the basis of merit and donation. Important hint is that - do not wait for the admission notification to be published in the news-papers. Though the donation is banned in the state, it is just the main cratiria for admission! For the students who have studied in the same organisation, getting admission is not a problem. But for the ones who want to change the institution, it is a bit difficult, because it is at the mercy of the Management.
• Pre-primary, Primary: First, students will be called for a written test followed by an oral test. Then the interview of the parents, for fixing-up donation and to find out the education level of the parents.
• High school: There will not be any written or oral test  for students or  interview for parents. Generally, there will not be as much rush as the rush for the admission at primary and pre-primary level. This is because, more than 75% of the schools have primary as well as High schools. Hence, the primary school students of an institution continue in the same institution. The students seeking the fresh admission are very few. Anyway, it depends on the "kindness"  of the management.
• Diploma:
• PUC: Once the result of the SSLC public examination (equal to class 10) is announced, Rush for the admission starts. It is generally around May-end & June the results are announced. Some of the institutions have PUC education too along with their high school. In such case the admission for PUC, is most likely for its own students who pass out from the 10th standard. Other Students with 80% and above score will easily get the admission, while the students with 70% and above score may have to pay a little donation. Rest of the students have to compromise with either the donation amount or the reputation of the institution.
• Degree: PUC results will be out by the middle of June and the rush starts for Degree courses. Though there is not much of the rush, it is not so easy to get the admission because, the number of colleges and seats are limited. Admissions are based on the merit and donation, and later the admission has to be approved the bangalore University.
• Engineering , Medical and Dental: Admission for these courses will be done through the Common Entrance Examination (CET) explained separately here. Other than these CET admission, private colleges have some management quota, purely based on donation.
• Fees and Donations:
• Schools and High Schools: Generally, there will be a monthly fees of Rs, 300 and above, in non-residenctial private schools and colleges. Donation ranges from Rs.2000 to 50,000. Most moving range is Rs.5,000 to 10,000 for pre-primary and primary onwards. some schools take Rs.10,000 and above as an initial deposit and refund that, while the student is leaving the school. Due to the Strict rules imposed by the government, banning the donations, some schools are planning to hike the monthly tuition fee by Rs.1000 plus.
