Delhi Public School, Siliguri

What Delhi Public School, Siliguri does

Delhi Public School, Siliguri is a private, non-profit CBSE-affiliated K-12 day-cum-boarding school established in 2003 under the Bidya Bharati Foundation and operating under the DPS Society, a network of approximately 134 schools across India and abroad. The school delivers the CBSE curriculum from Pre-Nursery through Class XII, with Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams at the senior-secondary level, and operates a boys hostel serving students from North Bengal, Sikkim, Bhutan, and the Darjeeling region. The campus at Pradhan Nagar spans facilities including 160 classrooms, science and computer laboratories, a library of more than 6,000 volumes, two swimming pools, and dedicated courts for basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis, and cricket.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition, mandatory annual fees, one-time admission fees (Rs. 25,000-75,490 by grade), optional transport fees with GPS/RFID-enabled buses, and hostel fees ranging from Rs. 3.1 lakh to Rs. 3.5 lakh annually. The school's go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: admissions are handled via on-campus interactions and an online portal (entab.online/DPSSLG), with no franchise, reseller, or intermediary model. Technology is operational rather than differentiating - the CampusCare ERP (Entab Infotech) handles fee collection, records, and parent communication, and a BotPenguin chatbot fields website visitor queries.

The school has been ranked No. 1 CBSE Day cum Boarding School in West Bengal and No. 9 nationally by EducationWorld for 13 consecutive years, and received the 'Best Day cum Boarding School of the Nation' recognition at Indian School Awards 2024. Leadership rests with the Agarwal family - Chairman Sharad Agarwal, Director Snigdha Agarwal, and Principal Anisha Sharma - under the larger DPS Society chaired by B.K. Chaturvedi. Strategic scope extends beyond the Siliguri campus to sister institutions under the same trust, including Surendra Institute of Engineering & Management (2009), DPS Joka (2014), and DPS Fulbari (2018).
