Published example amounts for the Mansarovar campus are: IGCSE admission fee: INR 45,000; CBSE admission fee: INR 25,000. Tuition fees by year group (published instalments; academic session shown below is the school's published 2025–26 international-wing schedule) - Fees are invoiced in four instalments per academic year. The figures below show the fee per instalment and the implied annual total (sum of four instalments) as published for the international wing (IIS World School) for the 2025–26 session. - Cambridge Primary (CPP — representative group shown as CPP-2 to CPP-5): Instalments: I = INR 31,000; II = INR 28,000; III = INR 28,000; IV = INR 28,000. Annual total (sum of instalments) ≈ INR 115,000. - Cambridge Lower Secondary (CLSP — Classes 6–8): Instalments: I = INR 31,200; II = INR 28,200; III = INR 28,200; IV = INR 28,200. Annual total ≈ INR 115,800. - Cambridge IGCSE (IGCSE Yr‑2 example): Instalments: I = INR 22,775; II = INR 20,775; III = INR 20,775; IV = INR 20,775. Annual total ≈ INR 85,100. - IB Diploma (IB Yr‑2 example): Instalments: I = INR 46,050; II = INR 44,050; III = INR 44,050; IV = INR 44,050. Annual total ≈ INR 178,200. Per‑term / per‑instalment presentation - The school presents tuition as four instalments (often described as quarters). The instalment amounts listed above are the amounts due at the start of each quarter; add the four instalments to calculate the full annual tuition shown. Billing schedule and payment terms - Standard instalment due dates (used by the school in recent years): 1st instalment due at session start (commonly on or about 31 March), 2nd instalment due by 07 July, 3rd instalment due by 07 October, and 4th instalment due by 07 January. The school allows short grace periods for each instalment as published. For the 2026–27 instalment calendar the school identifies the II instalment due 07 July 2026, III instalment due 07 October 2026 and IV instalment due 07 January 2027; the 1st instalment is taken at the start of the session. - First instalment instruction: the first instalment is expected to be paid by Demand Draft in favour of "INDIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, JAIPUR" where specified; subsequent instalments are accepted through the school's online/pay‑fee module. Late/deferred payment terms and any grace periods are published in the school circulars and instalment notices. Boarding / hostel fees (where applicable) - A hostel (off‑campus) facility is available for girls from class 9 onwards. The school's admission/annexure documents confirm availability of hostel facility but do not publish a boarding fee schedule in the international‑wing fee PDFs and admission policy documents reviewed. No specific boarding fee amounts are publicly listed in the school fee documents accessed. Transport / conveyance (optional) - Transport is optional and charged monthly according to pickup point. The international‑wing conveyance chart lists pickup codes and monthly charges by route; sample monthly conveyance charges in the published chart range roughly from about INR 1,800 up to around INR 4,900 depending on route and pickup code. Conveyance is billed separately from tuition and the fee chart shows the per‑month figure for each pickup code. Other costs and recurring additional charges - Development/other recurring charges: the school normally invoices small annual development/other facility charges as part of instalment 1 in its fee templates (examples at other IIS campuses show an annual development charge such as INR 1,500—this pattern is consistent across campus fee schedules). - Practical / laboratory / subject charges: Practical or subject‑related fees are applied for certain subjects in senior grades. Example published practice for the IIS campuses: practical charges of approximately INR 600 per practical subject per instalment for classes XI and XII (charged per subject per instalment where applicable). - Uniform, textbooks and stationery: Required uniform, textbooks and stationery must be procured from the school book store; those costs are extra and are invoiced/collected separately when the book store is open at session start. - Examination / external board fees: Cambridge / IB registration, exam and subject fees (charged to IGCSE/IB students for board registration and external exam entry) are additional and billed as needed; amounts depend on subject choices and external board fee schedules. (These appear separately from the tuition instalments in the school fee templates.) Refund and cancellation information - Admission fee forfeiture on cancellation: where a provisional offer of admission is cancelled because required documents or payments are not submitted within the stated period, the school's admission confirmation letters state that the admission fee will be forfeited. That forfeiture rule is stated in the school admission/offer notices. No separately published, detailed refund schedule for tuition or boarding fees (for withdrawals, early departure, or other circumstances) was located in the admission policy or the international‑wing fee documents reviewed. Fee payment options (accepted methods reported in school documents) - First instalment: Demand Draft in favour of "INDIA INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL, JAIPUR" where specified. Subsequent instalments: online payment via the school's PAY FEE module through the IIS Jaipur mobile app. Other accepted payment channels listed in campus fee notices include Mobile App/UPI (QR), POS (Debit/Credit Card), cash and UPI transaction receipts submission. Parents are asked to preserve fee receipts for income‑tax/fee‑reimbursement purposes. What is included / not included in the tuition instalments - Tuition instalments cover the stated tuition and routine development charges as laid out in the instalment table. Optional services (transport), bookstore purchases (uniforms, stationery, textbooks), examination/board external fees, subject practical charges, and hostel charges (where applicable) are billed separately. Parents are requested to retain receipts; the school notes that a separate tuition fee certificate will not be issued. Availability of up‑to‑date 2026/27 figures - The school publishes fee tables for the international wing. The clearly formatted, line‑by‑line instalment table for the international wing was available in a 2025–26 fee document showing the breakdown above (CPP / CLSP / IGCSE / IB instalments and implied annual totals). The school's 2026–27 instalment calendar dates and payment methods are published; however a fully readable, clearly formatted per‑programme instalment table for the international wing for 2026–27 was not available in a single, unambiguous table in the documents accessed. Therefore the detailed instalment amounts provided above use the school's published 2025–26 international‑wing fee schedule. If you need a short, single‑line summary for database fields (for example: annual tuition by programme and instalment amount), those numbers are available from the 2025–26 international‑wing table above and may be used as the published reference amounts for entry.	Fee details Application and admission fees (new admissions) - CBSE (day-school) new-admission charges: Registration fee INR 1,700; Admission form fee INR 100; One-time Admission fee INR 10,000; Development fee INR 5,000; Caution money (refundable) INR 20,000. - Cambridge / IGCSE (new admissions to the Cambridge stream): Registration fee INR 2,000; Admission fee INR 35,000; Security deposit (specified as non‑refundable in the Cambridge fee listing) INR 25,000. These one-time charges apply in addition to annual tuition for new entrants to the Cambridge programme. Tuition fees by year group (annual and per-term where published) - CBSE day-school (annual tuition, academic session figures used for current published fee schedule): - Bal Vatika (BV): Annual tuition INR 134,600 — per term (4 installments) INR 33,650. - Classes I–V: Annual tuition INR 128,400 — per term INR 32,100. - Classes VI–VIII: Annual tuition INR 132,000 — per term INR 33,000. - Classes IX–X: Annual tuition INR 140,000 — per term INR 35,000. - Classes XI–XII (Science): Annual tuition INR 138,800 — per term INR 34,700. - Classes XI–XII (Commerce / Arts): Annual tuition INR 130,200 — per term INR 32,550. - Cambridge / IGCSE day-school (typical published structure for Cambridge stream/new-admission examples): - Typical listed tuition for Cambridge stream (example new-admission annual tuition shown for early-years and primary levels) INR 208,000 per year — per term (4 installments) INR 52,000. One-time admission/registration/security sums are charged in addition to this tuition for new entrants. Billing schedule and payment terms - Tuition is billed on an annual basis and is customarily payable in four equal installments (quarterly) with installment due dates published as 15 April, 15 July, 15 October and 15 January; non-payment by due date carries the stated late-payment consequences, and bounced cheques attract bank charges. Installments therefore equal the annual tuition divided by four when the installment option is used. - For some grades and for specific streams there may be alternative timelines (quarterly or half‑yearly) specified in the school's fee circulars; the school accepts online bill-payment channels for fee submission. Boarding and hostel (if applicable) - The school provides boarding facilities (boys and girls hostels) as part of its offerings. Specific annual boarding (hostel) charges are published separately from tuition and are billed in addition to tuition; parents should review the hostel fee schedule and payment terms as boarding involves separate admission/registration and security/hostel deposits. Other fees and recurring charges - One-time / annual sundry charges that are commonly listed include: Development/maintenance charges (INR 5,000), caution/security deposits (see above), and an item listed generically as “Others” (example entries of INR 5,000 appear in published summaries). These charges are additional to the tuition figures shown above. - Additional recurring or optional costs that parents should expect (charged separately in many years) include: transport/bus fees (if bus service is used), lab and practical fees for senior classes, examination and board-registration fees for board classes, textbooks and stationery, activity or co‑curricular fees, and prescribed uniform purchases. These items are invoiced in addition to the tuition and one‑time admission/registration charges. Refund information - Caution money / refundable security deposits (where listed) are refundable on withdrawal or at the end of the student's tenure subject to school adjustment rules. One-time admission fees and development charges are treated as non‑refundable in typical fee schedules unless expressly stated otherwise. The Cambridge-listing explicitly identifies a portion of the security as non‑refundable; cheque bounce or similar payment failures may attract bank charges which are payable by the parent. Fee payment options and practical payment notes - Accepted online and electronic payment channels include debit card, credit card, net banking (NEFT/RTGS/IMPS), UPI and third‑party bill‑payment platforms integrated with the school's billing (for example BBPS/Bajaj Finserv). Parents are commonly able to pay by these online channels and receive instant confirmation by SMS/email. Some payment platforms may levy a small convenience or merchant fee (expressed as a percentage) for card or wallet payments. Cheque and bank transfer arrangements are also referenced in published fee circulars; returned cheques attract bank charges.
