Omega International School, Kolapakkam LKG admission 2013-2014

besthomemaker. ..thanks for ur valuable information... i will wait and try later only..not now...

let see Monica...fingure crossed...hopefully your information is correct...yesterday i send them email but no reply yet...not sure whats going on...

yes nishant81, i agree..atleast they have to put status in their website..then only confusion will clear to all...

Thank you Nishant for your kind information

PMonica - If you indeed went to the school and they said not to hurry and wait, it's obviously good news for all of us. But what they communicated to me when I spoke to them was that there is no vacancy for LKG or UKG. I called this number: 044-66241117.

I'm not sure why there is so much confusion in their messaging. They could as well update in the website on the real situation - closed or still open. This is getting ridiculous adn frustrating! 

 Thats fine Monica. I appreciate your patience. lets wait and watch.

 Please give me reviews on MKM matriculation. 

Thanks PMonica for your update.

 Hi All,

I stumbled on this forum only now and it was interesting to read all the experiences. I and my wife have been going through a similar harrowing experience because of no information from Omega school and it is comforting to note that we are not alone. I have applied for my son to LKG on 13th early morning and got application confirmation number.  Have been in a similar situation like many of you since I have recently shifted to Mugalivakkam area only because of the school.

No updates or emails till now.  I called the school last Friday and a lady said that they will send emails only to shortlisted candidates. I asked her how they shortlist without even seeing the child.  Her answer was that she does not frame the rules for shortlisting and asking me to check my email everyday.  I tried going to the school on Tuesday afternoon around 12:30pm and the security guys would not even allow me inside to inquire the status. 

I had got an application from Pon Vidyashram in December, but did not apply since I did not like their approach.  They were talking only about money - Rs. 65k annual fees+Rs. 25k deposit refundable after 10 years!!!  I was hoping that the admission to Omega would happen, but now it seems like a lost cause.

The least the school can do is to update the website if there are no vacancies so that we all can search for another good school instead of waiting for the email.

I am waiting till Saturday, else I am approaching either St. Francis or Swami's school.  Anyone have some feedback about Swami's?  I know it is an old school but have heard some good things about it.  Is it CBSE or Matric syllabus?

Let me know if you have some details.

Thanks,

Hi all,

hmmm... good to see soo many messages...and information :)

@sirni2k2 - I have applied for 1st STD in Omega. I initially applied on Jan 12 (1st day) but got mail from school to re-apply. And I reapplied on the 23rd Jan.

I should say this --- first, I want to thank all parent in this blog for giving me information abt much advance before i could get email from school for re-appling as data was lost for those who has applied on Jan 12. Thank you all.

second, for giving me latest information abt the school admission status.

Parents@pammal : Iam still awaiting for mail from school. Today, i got attestation from a doctor in pallavaram and got ready for interaction. Does anyone have any information abt the questions for 1 std in Omega.

hoping for the best...:)

thanks.

Hi Pribal75,

I completly agree with you. From the day of registration onwards the omega school is not keeping its words. Initially they said some date in Dec and then they changed to Jan 1st and then they changed again to the other date.

Now also the website shows as the KG admission will be 11th to 15th Feb. Every one will be under the impression like it will be from PreKG to UKG. But by seeing this chain of comments it seems the interation will only be with PreKG during the specified dates. Only omega knows KG means PreKG. Not sure why they keep the things so ambiguously and parents have to keep guessing and keep enquiring. Is this the way a good school does...

Also about the fees they said like they will inform in the website about the fee structure, one fine day they changed the content of the website and no where the fee details are posted

No proper information when we call for the much needed information. I HAD a very good opinion on the school by seeing its premises and the infrastructure but with out the displine and the ""keep chainging dates or words"" now I lost the faith. Studies may be good in the school but with out proper information and communication its not worth to be a good school.

The least the school can do is to update the website if there are no vacancies so that we all can search for another good school instead of waiting for the email

 Hi Pribal,

Admission for LKG in Sami school is already closed. Its available at St.Francis School. I feel the fee is too much in St.Francis. There is no play ground for kids and it is very small. I am looking out in MKM. Do u have any idea about MKM. Please help me out.

 Hi BestHomeMaker,

I have a neighbour whose kid studies at MKM.  But since it is a Matriculation school, I do not think the admission process would have started.  The Govt. had issues instrucutions to Matric schools to do the process only in May.

Hope I am right.

Thanks,

 Hi Srilalithay,

You just mirrored my thoughts.  If they do not have the basic decency of keeping the parents informed about the process or give a clear status, how can they inculcate discipline in children?

I was put off to a great extent by the way the lady answered on the phone last Friday.  I still do not understand the logic of 'shortlisting' candidates for LKG without even seeing the child or parents. What is the basis for this shortlisting? Is it education, money or some other factor or a combination of all these?  The only criteria that is clear seems to be the sibling policy.  But what about parents like me who have only one child?

All these factors are making me have a re-think.

Thanks,
