Class-wise Admission Eligibility (Nursery to Class 9)

Mayoor School Siliguri, a CBSE day and boarding school in Siliguri, admits new students from Nursery to Class IX, subject to available seats. This guide explains each stage: the age guidance families usually follow, what the school asks for, and when day boarding and full boarding become available. The admission office confirms the exact age cut-off date for each session, so treat the ages below as guidance rather than the school’s final rule.

India’s National Education Policy 2020 describes a foundational stage of five years: three years of pre-primary education from about age three, followed by Classes 1 and 2. The Ministry of Education has advised that children should be at least six years old when they enter Class 1. CBSE schools apply this guidance with their own cut-off dates, so ask the admission office for Mayoor’s cut-off date for 2026–27.

The early years build confidence, language, early numeracy and social skills through play and activity. There is no written test; any interaction is a relaxed conversation with the child and parents. You will need the birth certificate, Aadhaar cards of the child and parents, photographs and a medical certificate. The published one-time admission fee for these classes is ₹30,000, with a monthly school fee of ₹5,500.

Children joining Class I usually come from a pre-primary programme; children joining Class II also bring the report or marksheet from their previous school and a transfer certificate. A short, age-appropriate interaction helps teachers understand reading, writing and number skills.

From Class III, families can choose day schooling, day boarding (3:00–6:00 PM, including lunch, supervised prep, coached sport and snacks) or full boarding in separate residences for boys and girls. The latest marksheet and transfer certificate are required, and an interaction helps with class placement.

Students joining middle school bring the latest marksheet and transfer certificate. If your child is moving from another board — such as a state board or ICSE — share the subjects they have studied so the school can advise on any bridging support.

Class IX begins the two-year secondary course that leads to the CBSE Class X examination. CBSE registers students for that examination while they are in Class IX, which is why Class IX is the last regular entry point for new students. Families seeking admission to Class X should ask the admission office whether an exception under CBSE rules applies.

The school’s published list includes the birth certificate, latest marksheet, transfer certificate, Aadhaar cards, photographs of the child and parents, a family photograph, a medical certificate and, where applicable, an SC/ST/OBC certificate, a single-child affidavit or a passport or citizenship document for a foreign national student. See the full list in the admission process guide.
