Reviews
- Treated across Reddit and Indian education forums as one of the top CBSE day-cum-boarding schools in Delhi. The 1972 South Delhi flagship of the DPS Society, with an admissions rate around 5% in some years.
- One parent placed it at the top of a Delhi school ranking with "amazing faculty, amazing resources and study material". One former student cited "850-plus students got international admission in the year 2023" and notable alumni include Raghuram Rajan, Kunal Bahl, Randeep Hooda and Kriti Sanon.
- Scale is the recurring negative. With around 9,500 students one student transferee said "the overpopulation of that school... lunch breaks were absolute hell", and the canteen reportedly closed over theft. One parent put boarding fees at around 7 lakh annually.
- Culture and elitism come up. One commenter said "everyone sitting there is privileged af" and another that the school is "very elitist. Principal hyped average performances based on looks". Wealth disparity and limited access for non-affluent students recur.
- A 2005 leaked-video scandal involving DPS RK Puram students, widely referred to online as the MMS scandal, still surfaces in unrelated threads. A February 2024 bomb threat email triggered evacuation alongside many Delhi schools.
