When choosing the right school for kids, parents need to evaluate several factors as fee structure is one of them. Though school infrastructure, education curriculum, and school reputation equally matters. However, school fees directly affect long-term financial planning and monthly budgeting, making it a major part to consider.
When thinking of school fees, it is not alone limited to tuition. But parents also need clarity on admission charges, optional activities, and transport-related costs to avoid surprises later. A transparent fee structure helps parents make the right decision while comparing and aligning expectations with their educational priorities. Through this blog we are offering a clear, well-organized explanation of fee components, optional charges, transport fees, and applicable waivers according to the UP Fee Regulation Act. It will let parents plan confidently and responsibly ensuring that they are choosing the best school for their kids.
Overview of the Main Fee Components
The top CBSE Board schools in Noida focus on offering a well-structured and transparent fee structure. They ensure that the given fee structure comply with all applicable regulations according to the UP Fee Regulation Act. When speaking about the main fee components, schools include:
One-time admission fees which are charged during the time of admission only.
School tuition fees for every academic session.
Optional charges that are required for availing specific facilities or any extra-curricular activities.
At The Khaitan School, we follow the same structure and charge school fees quarterly. Fees for Classes from Nursery to Class 12th remain the same. Also, we do not charge any additional annual charges, which simplifies school fees budgeting for parents. However, as stated above in the common fees structure, optional fees do apply according to facilities availed by students. Some of them include Science Lab fees for senior classes, fees for astronomy club, educational trips, competitions, and bus transport fees.
Admission Fee and Timing
According to the set regulations, schools only charge a one-time, non-refundable admission fee during the time of admission. Though the admission fees get revised every year. Parents must be aware that this charge is applicable only once and is separated from the school tuition fees. At The Khaitan School, we put revised admission charges on our website. Parents can check our website to get information on updated admission fees. For the session 2026 – 2027, the admission fee charged by us for Classes Pre-Nursery, Nursery, LKG, and UKG is Rs.30,000 and for Classes I to XII is Rs.60,000.
Parents should note that admission fees are not adjusted or refunded later on. Also, the re-admission waivers for every CBSE School in Noida may vary and is provided under specific conditions only. So before going for re-admission parents must gather information about re-admission waiver and other requirements from the concerned school. We also offer re-admission waivers under specific conditions, which are as follows:
For students re-joining school within 2 years, 100% admission fee waiver is provided.
For students re-joining school between 2 to 5 years, a 50% admission fee waiver is provided.
Since admission fee figures are periodically updated for new sessions, we advise parents to confirm the latest amounts from the admission office or our website admission page before proceeding.
School Tuition Fees According to UP Fee Regulation Act
As stated above, schools affiliated to CBSE Board in Noida adhere to a single head fee structure. Schools are advised to limit increment in fees based on the given mandates. Also, every school is required to submit fee structures to the District Fee Regulatory Committee to seek approval regarding the hike in school tuition fees.

Optional and Activity Fees Explained
Optional fees are charged by schools only when applicable according to classes and activities they take part in. This offers flexibility to parents and they are only required to pay the amount for the activities their kids are availing. Though they vary from school to school depending on what all facilities they offer. This includes charges for dance classes, music classes, sports activities, additional foreign language learning, magic or puppet shows, and art & craft activities. Apart from that for higher classes, Science lab fees are also charged if applicable.
Optional fees charged also include local and outstation educational trips, inter-school competitions, Olympiads, CBSE competitive exams, and CBSE registration fees. As participation in these activities is optional, parents can decide based on their child’s interests and academic needs. These charges are not shared beforehand.
Transport Fee Guide
School transport is an optional service and only those who are availing school bus facilities are required to pay transport fees. However, the transport fees vary according to distance from the school or the location where students are residing. This is one of the most common criteria followed by CBSE schools in Noida when charging transport fees.
At The Khaitan School, we charge quarterly transport charges that vary according to distance and area and are in the range of Rs.3000 to Rs.5000. We review transport routes periodically for efficiency and safety. Also, parents who choose not to opt for school transport need not pay transport charges.
