Schools and admissions

Pune's schools teach CBSE, ICSE and State Board.

For a move within India you usually don't need the IB. CBSE and ICSE transfers are simple, and most of the preferred schools accept mid-year admissions with the right paperwork. Families moving within India usually choose The Bishop's School, St. Mary's (Camp), DPS, MIT, DAV, Pawar Public, Symbiosis, Vidya Valley or Loyola. Top CBSE schools usually have waitlists of 3 to 6 months and strict admission criteria, and mid-term admissions are difficult. Start applying before your move if you can. IKAN recommends schools based on where you live and the curriculum you want.

Fees are indicative annual tuition. Schools revise them every year and add admission, transport and other charges, so IKAN confirms the current fee with each school before you apply.

Moving schools within India? CBSE-to-CBSE transfers are easy, contact your target school's admissions office 3 months before your move date. ICSE transfers are straightforward within CISCE-affiliated schools. Moving from CBSE/ICSE to IB requires careful grade mapping and sometimes a transitional year. IKAN's education team advises on all scenarios and connects you with school admissions contacts directly.

Women's Safety: Pune is consistently rated among India's safer large cities for women, including in the central, IT-corridor and university neighbourhoods (KP, Kalyani Nagar, Aundh, Baner, Viman Nagar and the Hinjewadi townships). After dark, stick to well-lit main roads, prefer app-cabs (Ola/Uber/Rapido) to unmarked autos when travelling alone, and share your live trip status with family. Save the Women Helpline (1091) and Police (100) before you need them, 1091 connects to a 24×7 control room that can dispatch help and is the number to use for harassment or if you ever feel unsafe.
