One of the biggest USPs of Bhavan’s is its fee structure. Despite being one of the most reputed schools in the city, the fee is fairly structured. It comes to around Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 35,000 INR per annum, making it one of the most affordable schools in its category. All its competitors are more expensive. However, getting into a school like Bhavan’s is the main challenge due to the sheer demand of every seat. Once your child gets in, though, you will not have to worry about heavy expenditure in terms of fees.
