We started with Chinmaya Vidyalaya, Anna Nagar on December 5th. We went to the school to pick up the application form on the first day itself. On the gate, the security people stopped us because we were carrying only a Xerox copy of the birth ertificate. To issue the application form they needed the original birth certificate !! Then we rushed to our bank to collect the original birth certificate from locker. After producing the original certificate and paying Rs200/- we got the application form. Just for 150 LKG seats there were more than 1000 applicants..
We submitted the filled application form on 10th and interview was scheduled on 17th. Our daughter performed well in interview by answering most of the questions. But her name was not there in the list when they published the result on Jan 2nd. Same case for many people we met there. Many people say that admission was mainly based on recommendations.
But the overall treatment by the management was good. There were enough space for parents to sit and wait while issuing the apllication form and at the time of interview. Also they didn’t ask for any donations.

Friends,
I also wanted to share my moments with you regarding this school and its interview. As you said, the school staff were so good in receiving the parents and everything was well planned, overall the interview setup was excellent, but hard to say that all the interviews are only mockups and not real interviews. Its waste of our time and efforts. My son has done exceptionally well, and we all were pretty much confident about his admission. But when the results were announced on 23rd december 2008, it was a shock for us to see only 132 seats and most of them are from high recommendations.
It is really a pathetic situation goingon nowadays, there is no scope for bright candidates, only recommendations.
I was upset initially, but now I feel the school has missed a very bright candidate.
Friends, dont waste your time in preparing your kids for the interviews, instead catch hold of some higher officials for recommendations, that will help you.
