Would Kakatiya Techno School in Chandrayangutta test an ICSE boy joining class 3?

We're looking at a bigger house on the south side for next year, and Kakatiya Techno School in Chandrayangutta is the one that keeps coming up near the places we've seen. He's in ICSE now, in class 2. If we move, he would join class 3 next June. I'd like to know whether there is an entrance test or interaction at that level, and what it covers. He reads well in English, but his Hindi is weak and his Telugu is mostly spoken. It seems to run both CBSE and State Board. For a child coming from ICSE, which side do families usually pick?

    Can't help on admissions, ours is a toddler. But my parents live near Charminar and I drive that stretch often. If you're house-hunting there, do the school-time drive at least once before deciding. Chandrayangutta at 8 in the morning is a different city from a Sunday visit.

    One thing from a father who has done the long road. In my experience the class 3 test at schools on this side is simple, reading and some sums, so don't worry much there. Think about CBSE or State for the long run. My son went State Board and then inter MPC with coaching, and for that route State was fine. If your boy may write national exams or you may change cities later, CBSE is easier to carry. Choose for class 8 onwards, not for class 3.

    When we looked at a couple of schools for our daughter last year, one of them did a short reading passage and a page of sums with a teacher sitting beside her. It seemed more about seeing where she was than filtering anyone out. I'd still ask the office directly what they do for class 3, because it varies even between branches with the same name.

      That's reassuring. Did that school check the second language as well, or only English and maths?

      Agree on asking the office. Parent groups mix up branches all the time with these big names. Get it from the branch you'd apply to, not from someone's cousin.
