Epistemo Vikas Leadership School - Serilingampally

Epistemo Vikas Leadership School is a 2012 Nallagandla campus from the Vikas Group of Educational Institutions, headed by Padma Kolli, running CBSE and Cambridge tracks in parallel after a shared primary base.

Smt. Surapaneni Swarajya Lakshmi chairs the school following the death of founder S. Koteswara Rao. The campus runs an integrated curriculum through Pre-Primary, then splits into CBSE (Grades 1-11) and Cambridge (Grades 1-10, with IGCSE at the upper end). Facilities include a football turf, basketball and tennis courts, swimming pool, science and language labs, and music and dance studios. A TED-Ed Club, Model UN, and an IIT Madras partnership for Data Science and AI certification sit alongside the regular timetable.

Fees range from about 99,000 INR per year at the CBSE entry level to about 255,000 INR at the Cambridge senior end. Parent commentary at the 200-plus public review pool foregrounds the facilities, equal weight on academics and sport, and a generally nurturing atmosphere. Recurring critical notes flag annual fee escalation of around 10% and inconsistent teacher quality across departments.

Beyond the headline fee rise, the running theme in parent accounts is what happens around the fee. Families describe a steady drip of extra costs through the year, overpriced books and uniforms, and a large share of term fees collected up front before the session starts. The other recurring note is churn: teachers described as moving on regularly and the principal seat changing hands more than once, which sits behind the uneven-teaching impression. Set against that, parents who stay tend to like the day-to-day relationship with staff, calling teachers approachable and forthcoming with honest feedback on both study and sport, and children are often described as happy to go in.
