A user shared a screenshot of the annual tuition fee for the 2025–26 academic year at the IB-affiliated institution in the city is ₹7.35 lakh. This shows that education might have become a privilege now and no more a human right.
The Internet can not keep calm after a Bengaluru-based international school’s fee structure has gone viral. A user shared a screenshot of the annual tuition fee for the 2025–26 academic year at the IB-affiliated institution in the city is ₹7.35 lakh.
The post read, “Annual fee structure of primary school years at one of the better institutions in Bangalore. Rs 7,35,000 per annum from Grade 1. Don’t miss the Rs 1,00,000 non-refundable admission fees."
How the internet reacted
An X user wrote, “The American International School Chennai’s tuition fees are 27 lakhs. In India all kinds of institutions exist, and people choose based on their capacity. Why complain?"
“Anyone who considers this a reasonable amount needs to touch grass. It is EDUCATION. A basic human right," another said.

"I have experienced and can boldly say that the education and medical institutions in Bengaluru are very greedy. The cherry on top is that most of these are held by politicians or related family members, legally or through some other route. Does the government have the willpower to regulate fees?" said another on X.
“Is this average all around in Bangalore or have you taken the highest one? Even Noida’s best doesn’t have this," posted a user.
