Jamnabai Narsee International School
IGCSE/IB DP school in Vile Parle West/JVPD. ₹6.5-10L.
Reviews
- Mumbai school with deep local heritage. The wider Jamnabai Narsee group dates to 1971 in Vile Parle/Juhu, and the international wing offers IB PYP, MYP and DP alongside IGCSE.
- Often described in Mumbai threads as the cheapest IB Diploma option in the city, with one commenter quoting around 6.5 lakhs per year for IB DP. The ICSE side is materially less expensive than the international wing.
- Reputation has shifted as DAIS has come to dominate the top end of Mumbai's international market. Parents and students sometimes frame JNIS as a strong second-tier option rather than the standout it once was.
- Admissions are flagged as rigid and pin-code-driven, with parents reporting that the process does not weight family background or child profile.
- Class sizes can be large. Some parents say teachers focus on the strongest students, leaving average performers needing outside coaching.
- Student community draws heavily from Juhu and Bandra families, including children of well-known business and entertainment-industry households.
