AHLCON PUBLIC SCHOOL

A long-established CBSE day school in Mayur Vihar Phase 1, run since 1988 by the Shanti Devi Progressive Education Society and one of the better-known mainstream private options in East Delhi.

Ahlcon Public School covers Pre-Primary through Class 12 under the CBSE board, with a separate Ahlcon International School next door under the same trust running an alternative pathway. The school has built a reputation on academic consistency, dedicated teachers, and a structured environment, and has picked up Brainfeed and similar national rankings in CBSE, STEM, and parental engagement categories. Principal is Dr Deepak Raj Singh Bisht. Facilities include dedicated computer, science, robotics, and language labs.

Parent feedback is broadly positive across hundreds of public reviews. Families value the focus on discipline, character, and steady CBSE outcomes at fees well below the Delhi international tier. This is a mainstream Indian private school for East Delhi families, not a competitor to AES or DPS International. Expat families on local-hire packages occasionally consider it; diplomatic-circuit families almost never do.

• This is a CBSE day school for Indian families in Mayur Vihar, not an expat international school. Most parent commentary lives on Indian admissions sites where the tone leans positive. Parents value strong CBSE results, a wide co-curricular slate, and what they describe as caring teachers and proactive parent communication.
• Facilities are repeatedly flagged as a strength: large libraries, multiple subject and robotics labs, and a sports complex covering cricket, football, basketball, table tennis, yoga and badminton.
• The most consistent practical complaint from parents is the absence of air conditioning in classrooms.
• Ex-student commentary is more mixed. One ex-student described long-running peer bullying through their schooling. Others discussed the school as part of competitive exam culture without strong opinions either way.
