Admission process:
The Pinegrove School, Himachal Pradesh admits students without any kind of distinction. Candidates from all race, religions, creeds, castes, or color can take admission in this school. Many foreign students also take admission here.
For admission in this school, a child first has to fill the registration form. After registration procedures, the child has to undergo an admission test and interview. After qualifying these two stages, a child is finally selected for admission.
For admission to the classes I to VIII, the registration forms are dispersed in the month of February. On the other hand, the admissions to classes IX and XI totally depend on the availability of seats.
Students are admitted on the basis of their performances in the admission test and interview. But a special preference is given to the NRI students. Brothers and sisters of past and present Pinegrovians can also take admission and in this case, they would get extra privileges. Moreover, candidates belong to the families of serving defense personnel and war widows and exceptionally brilliant scholarship students of the poorer section of society can take admission by availing some additional facilities.
Registration process is normally open during the whole year. Both NRI and Indian students can take admission and register their names throughout the year. At the time of registration, candidates have to submit fees and required testimonials along with the registration form.
The children who have been registered for admission will be called later through registered post. If such kind of letter doesn’t reach you by the month of February of the current year, then you must contact the school office with proper documents. However, one thing that you should keep in your mind that registration doesn’t guarantee admission of a candidate.
Both the admission tests and interviews are held around in the middle of February. In the written test, candidates have to prepare for three subjects like English, Mathematics, and Hindi.
An NRI student has the alternative to ask for an admission in classes I to VIII without any kind of formal admission test and interview. This will be allowed if the candidate is flying in from abroad only for seeking admission. However, for classes IX and above, the NRI child also have to sit in the normal admission test according to the schedule of the Pingrove School, Himachal Pradesh.
