Reviews
- Mumbai parents place Garodia in the IB-suburb tier alongside Oberoi, Singhania (Thane) and HFS Powai, with comments that suburb IB schools "have come very close to the SoBo schools wrt uni placements".
- Fees are a recurring point: parents quote IBDP fees of around 8 lakh per year, with one parent noting the same group's CBSE/ICSE division is "actually quite affordable" by comparison.
- Specific recommendations: when Mumbai parents ask for an IB school in the eastern suburbs, Garodia and NES Mulund are the names that consistently come up.
- Academic record: a 2022 IB DP cohort included a world-topper score, which parents and group marketing both reference.
- A 2018-era news thread flagged a parent dispute over the school's UDISE registration on the ICSE side, raising governance questions parents may still want to test directly.
Positives
- Eastern-suburb IB option. Treated as the default IB choice in Ghatkopar/Mulund, often paired with NES Mulund.
- Outcomes. Parents and group communications cite a 2022 IB DP world-topper as a reference point on academic ceiling.
Considerations
- IBDP fees. Parents quote roughly 8 lakh per year for IBDP, which they bracket alongside Oberoi rather than the cheaper CBSE/ICSE Garodia branches.
- Governance signal. Older parent reporting raised UDISE/registration concerns on the ICSE division which has not been clearly resolved in public threads.
