child is newly admitted to a school or if he enters class 11, the school levies this fee. But most of the schools levy the admission fee every year at time of admission/re-admission.
Uniform, Books and Stationary items
Books, uniforms and other necessary stationary items are the basic expenses which are approximately 16-21% of annual school fees. Most of the times, you are required to buy these necessities from
the school specified shops. So, you are left with no space to negotiate and shell out the specified amount.
