How Mayoor School Siliguri Works with Mayo College, Ajmer

Mayoor School Siliguri describes itself as a CBSE day and boarding school in collaboration with Mayo College General Council, Ajmer. Parents often ask what that phrase means in practice. This guide explains the connection clearly, including what it does not mean, so you can judge it for yourself.

Mayo College in Ajmer, Rajasthan, was founded in 1875 and is one of India’s oldest residential schools. It is governed by the Mayo College General Council. Over the decades, the General Council has worked with a group of collaboration schools that carry the Mayoor name and share Mayo’s educational values.

Mayo College is named after Lord Mayo, a Viceroy of India, and was founded to educate the sons of India’s princely families. It has since grown into a residential school that admits students from across India, and it is often described as one of the country’s most historic schools. Its white-marble main building in Ajmer is among the best-known school buildings in India — the same campus that Mayoor School Siliguri students visited on their excursion. That history is why the Mayo name carries weight with families: it stands for a long tradition of residential education, discipline and character-building.

Mayoor School Siliguri is part of the Mayoor family of schools under the Mayo College General Council, Ajmer. Its fellow schools include Mayoor School Ajmer, Mayoor School Noida, Mayoor School Jaipur, Chopasni School Jodhpur and Mayoor Private School Abu Dhabi. Mayoor School Noida, for example, states that it was established in 2003 under the aegis of the Mayo College General Council. The General Council has a collaboration committee that works with these schools.

• Shared values. The Mayoor schools draw on Mayo’s emphasis on academic excellence, discipline, character and all-round development.
• Shared experiences. Mayoor School Siliguri students have visited Mayo College, Ajmer on an excursion, seeing the historic campus for themselves.
• Inter-school events. Students from the Mayoor collaboration schools meet at shared events. In August 2026, Mayoor School Siliguri took part in the fifth Mayoor Mahotsav hosted by Mayoor School, Ajmer, alongside students from Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jalandhar and Noida.
• A wider community. Being one of several Mayoor schools gives students and teachers a network beyond a single campus.

• It is not Mayo College. Mayoor School Siliguri is a separate school with its own campus at Dhukuria, Patharghata, P.S. Matigara, Siliguri, its own leadership and its own CBSE affiliation (number 2430471).
• It does not guarantee admission to Mayo College. Mayo College has its own admission process.
• It is not a different board. Mayoor School Siliguri follows the CBSE curriculum.

On campus, the connection is visible in the school’s values and routines rather than in a name alone. Mayoor’s Namaste culture makes courtesy and gratitude part of every day. The school combines CBSE academics in 32 smart, air-conditioned classrooms with sport, arts, STEAM, AI and robotics, and separate boarding for boys and girls from Class III to Class X. Students’ excursion to Mayo College and the Mayoor Mahotsav give them a sense of belonging to a larger tradition.

Mayoor School Siliguri is led by its own management and principal. You can meet the Chairman, Principal and faculty on our team page, and read about the school’s history and values on the about page.
