LIS is an inclusive school, wherein; endevaour is to encourage all new admissions to join the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.  However, admission is based on each student’s individual ability.

A basic requirement of 4 C Grades and above in the IGCSE or equivalent grade 10 international curriculum with a minimum of a D aggregate would be required to qualify for the Diploma Programme.

Similarly, a minimum of 50% aggregate in the CBSE-grade 10 or equivalent National Curriculum would be considered.

Having met the above-mentioned criteria, the next step would be an internal entrance qualifying test in Mathematics and English.  This is done not to hamper admission but to test the student’s level in the subject area and fit them into the most suitable level e.g. HL/SL/Studies.

It is to be mentioned that in no way are the results of these entrance tests are to be considered as rigid and binding on the future subject levels of the student.  Should the student show a marked improvement within the first few months a change in level would be possible.  Students are encouraged to opt for only those subjects at an HL Level, which they have already appeared for in their grade 10 examinations.  And to opt for an SL level, if the subject is new to them, however, the above-mentioned clause of fluidity applies here as well.
 
LIS does not hesitate to encourage students to opt for their mother tongue as far as possible  in group 1 as an A1 SL Self Taught. 

“LIS will support all students who opt for the Self taught mother tongue in Group A1. The school foresees that Korean, Japanese or Chinese may be an option in this category according to the constitution of the current student body population. If a student requests for language A1 that is not automatically available in any of the coming IB examinations, a special request will be submitted to IB Cardiff before the deadline date i.e.18 months before the written examination for which the language AI examination is requested. Candidates will also be permitted to offer two languages in A1 and work towards a bilingual Diploma. All such students will be given the guidance and support as per the instructions sent by IB. It is the school’s responsibility to ensure that all choices comply with the regulations and instructions in the Language A1 Guide. The school will also take responsibility for conducting the IB examination for all such students as per the IB regulations"

On first approaching the school for admission to grade 11, prospective students and their Parents meet with the Admission Manager to carry out a preliminary discussion of administrative matter.  On successful completion of the same they are then directed to the office of the Secondary School Principal/Diploma Programme Coordinator.  This is where, students and parents are advised as to choice and levels of subjects, core components  as well as the ideology of the Diploma Programme.

Finally, while advising and selecting the most appropriate choices of subjects for a students, it is to be kept in mind, a students future plans, if known, to University as well as career choices.
