IB Results in Bangalore

Bangalore's published IB Diploma results are unusually thin for a city with twelve authorised IB World Schools. Three schools publish a cohort average for any recent year. One adds individual top scores in place of an average. The rest publish nothing comparable.

The global 2024 DP average was 30.32, with a pass rate around 80%. That is the comparative baseline. Where a school does not publish, that is itself a data point.

Ranked by published DP average

The ranking uses each school's most recent published cohort DP average, not individual top scores, university destinations, or claims of "above global average." Schools publishing only individual results sit after those with cohort averages.

1. Oakridge International School Bangalore: 34.07 (2022)

Oakridge on Sarjapur Road publishes the strongest cohort figure of any Bangalore IB school: a 2022 DP average of 34.07 with a 97% pass rate and 11 perfect scorers. The figure covers Oakridge's all-India IB cohort; the Bangalore campus contributed to the same group as Hyderabad-Gachibowli and Visakhapatnam.

The school also reports MYP 5 results: a top score of 56/56 and 27.5% of students above 50. Founded 2001, around 800 students, PYP through DP. Fees INR 3,60,000 to INR 11,80,000.

The caveat is the date. Three Diploma cycles have elapsed since the 2022 figure, and the published number covers the all-India cohort rather than the Bangalore campus alone.

2. Stonehill International School: 32.2 (2024), 33.5 (2023)

Stonehill at Tarahunise publishes the most current cohort data of any Bangalore IB school: 32.2 in 2024 and 33.5 in 2023. Both years sit above the global average. The 2024 figure is the only post-2022 disclosure in the city.

Stonehill is the only Bangalore school authorised for all four IB programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, CP), and holds CIS and NEASC accreditation. Founded 2008, around 600 students, head Dr Brian Brumsickle. Fees INR 5,81,090 to INR 12,67,100.

Two years of consistent disclosure is a stronger signal, on its own, than a single higher figure three years stale. Cohort size is not published; Stonehill's ~600-student roll suggests a DP cohort in the tens rather than the hundreds, and small cohorts swing averages.

3. The International School Bangalore (TISB): individual scores only (2025)

TISB reports multiple 45, 44 and 43 scorers in 2025, the strongest individual results in the city for that year. The school does not publish a cohort average, pass rate, or cohort size.

The structural caveat: TISB runs Cambridge IGCSE in middle years feeding into IB Diploma at sixth form, with PYP at the primary end. The Diploma cohort is therefore self-selecting against the Cambridge-route alternative inside the same school; top scores are not directly comparable to a continuous IB cohort.

NAFL Valley campus near Dommasandra, day and boarding. Founded 2000, around 1,170 students, CIS-accredited. Day fees INR 5,50,000 to INR 11,00,000.

4. Canadian International School Bangalore: ~34 (2018)

Canadian International School Bangalore at Yelahanka publishes a DP average of around 34 points from 2018, the most recent figure currently in the school's public record. Seven graduating cycles sit between that figure and the current Diploma cohort.

The school is CIS and NEASC accredited and runs Cambridge alongside IB. Founded 1996, around 700 students, fees INR 5,11,000 to INR 10,30,000. The missing data is the issue, not the school.

5. Neev Academy: 30 (2024)

Neev Academy at Yemalur publishes a 2024 DP average of 30 points, at the global average of 30.32. The school also reports a 100% pass rate on its ICSE 2024 cohort.

Neev is NEASC-accredited, founded 2005, head Kavita Gupta Sabharwal, fees INR 5,50,000 to INR 11,00,000. The school's reputation rests more on its primary and middle culture than on Diploma cohort size. A school publishing at the global average is a more honest data point than a school publishing nothing.

At a glance

Individual top scores are recorded as not published in the cohort-average column; they do not establish a cohort figure. Verify all figures with each school for the current cycle.

How to read these numbers

A cohort average is not a top score. A school with one student scoring 45 and twenty scoring 28 averages 28.8. A school where all twenty score 33 averages 33. Only the second is a strong cohort. The average without the cohort size says little. A 36-point average across five students is a different signal from a 33-point average across fifty.

Pass rate matters more than headline average for marginal choices. The Diploma pass mark is 24. A school with a 32 average and 100% pass rate has lifted a full cohort across the line. A school with a 34 average and 85% pass rate has carried strong students well and let weaker ones fail.

Old figures are not safe. Three years is the practical horizon for an IB DP figure. The Diploma changes; cohorts change; the school's IB faculty changes. A 2018 figure tells a parent what the school did under a different head.

Individual scores prove a ceiling, not an average. A 45/45 score in one year proves the school can teach a strong student to the top of the Diploma. It does not prove that the next cohort will produce another, nor that the rest scored above 30. Schools publishing top scores but not cohort averages are choosing what to disclose.

Dual-pathway schools self-select their IB cohort. Where a school offers Cambridge alongside IB DP, families choose at sixth form. The IB cohort may be smaller and stronger than the school's overall academic profile; the reverse is also possible.

Schools with no public DP results

Half the Bangalore IB list publishes nothing comparable. Eight authorised IB World Schools disclose neither a cohort average nor a pass rate for any recent year:

• Indus International School Bangalore: scholarship totals (USD 7.8 million combined offers in 2023-24), no DP cohort outcomes.
• Greenwood High International School: IB Diploma results reported as "consistently above global average", without a figure or year.
• Trio World Academy: a 45/45 perfect score in one Diploma cycle, no cohort average.
• Candor International School: university destinations (King's College London, UBC, Melbourne), no DP scores.
• Ebenezer International School Bangalore: detailed CIE and CISCE board results; IB stream smaller and not separately reported.
• Bangalore International School: no DP cohort data.
• Treamis World School: 100% results across CAIE, IBDP and CBSE year on year, without a figure.
• Harrow International School: opened 2023, no graduating DP cohort yet.

The pattern is consistent across Indian IB schools. Cambridge and Indian-board schools tend to publish percentage cohort data; IB schools in India tend to publish individual top scores and university destinations instead. The result is a market where a third of schools rank cleanly on disclosed averages and two thirds compete on reputation, destinations and brand.

For a family choosing on measured IB performance, the five schools in the ranking above are the working shortlist. The single highest-yield admissions question is the request for three years of cohort averages, pass rates and cohort sizes in writing, by campus.

FAQs

Which Bangalore IB school has the highest published DP cohort average?

Oakridge International School Bangalore at 34.07 in 2022, with a 97% pass rate and 11 perfect scorers in that cycle. The figure is from the school's all-India IB cohort, not Bangalore alone, and is three years old. Stonehill International School publishes the most current figure: 32.2 in 2024, following 33.5 in 2023.

Why don't more Bangalore IB schools publish cohort averages?

Indian schools are used to reporting board-exam results as percentage cohorts (CIE, CISCE, CBSE). IB schools in India often follow the alternative IB convention of publishing individual top scores and university destinations rather than cohort averages. The result is that only three Bangalore IB schools publish a comparable cohort figure for any recent year.

What counts as a strong IB Diploma score in Bangalore?

The 2024 global DP average was 30.32, with a global pass rate of around 80%. A strong Bangalore IB school produces a cohort average of 32 to 37 and a pass rate at or above the global figure. Individual top scores of 40 or above are uncommon anywhere; Bangalore's stronger schools produce a handful most years.

Is TISB's "multiple 45/44/43 scorers" the strongest 2025 result in Bangalore?

On individual scores, yes. TISB's 2025 cohort produced multiple results at 45, 44 and 43. The school does not publish the cohort average, pass rate, or cohort size behind those individual figures, so the result cannot be compared directly with Stonehill's 32.2 cohort average for the same period.

How current does a published IB result need to be?

Three years is the practical horizon. The Diploma curriculum, the school's IB faculty, the head, and the cohort itself all change inside a five-year window. Stonehill's run of 33.5 and 32.2 is the most current data on offer; Oakridge's 34.07 from 2022 is the next most recent.
