Schools and admissions
Bengaluru has some of India's strongest schools. Good CBSE schools are spread across the city, the south has an excellent group of ICSE schools, and only Mumbai has a wider choice of international schools. Admissions open November-January for the school year that starts in June.

IKAN School Advisory
What to know before you apply
Top CBSE schools like NPS Koramangala have waitlists running 12 to 18 months for certain grades. Start the process the moment you know your posting. IKAN's school advisory service maps your child's grade and learning profile to available seats across Bengaluru, including schools not yet on most people's radar. For IB schools, entrance assessments and interaction sessions happen October-February for June starts. International school seats move fast once word circulates among the newcomer community.
Transfer Certificate (TC): For inter-state moves, most CBSE and ICSE schools require a Transfer Certificate (TC) from your child's previous school for admission, for ICSE/ISC and some boards it may need countersigning by the relevant education authority. Request the TC before you relocate, as inter-state admissions can stall without it.
02Healthcare
Hospitals and doctors
Bengaluru's hospitals are far better than its size would suggest. Patients travel here from across South Asia for heart care, cancer treatment, transplants and brain surgery. Care is easy to get, and Practo, the doctor-booking app, was founded here.

IKAN's relocation team maintains a live roster of specialist contacts across Bengaluru's top hospitals, from paediatricians in Whitefield to cardiologists across Manipal Hospitals' multiple Bengaluru locations (Old Airport Road, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwantpur and more). On arrival, we share our trusted contact list and can facilitate priority appointments where needed. Contact: relo@ikan.com · Web: www.ikan.com
Women's safety & places of worship: Beyond the 1091 Women's Helpline, dial 112 (national emergency) and consider women-safety apps such as Suraksha or the official 112 India app, which send an SOS alert with your live location. Bengaluru is broadly considered among India's safer metros for women, with common-sense night-travel precautions. Places of worship, temples, churches, mosques and gurudwaras are spread across every neighbourhood; IKAN can point you to the nearest to your home.
