I have already written an article about whether to take a Franchise or not in my blog post here. Though what is beyond argument is the traction one enjoys as a new school given the pull of the brand. So here is a blog post which will try to help all those looking to start a Franchise School like DPS, Mayo College Ajmer, Shamrock, EDdify School, Vibgyor, Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Brighton International School, Mount Litera, City Montessori (CMS) and others. Here I am writing about two brands Brighton & DPS, shall keep updating the info about others as we go along.

This blog is being written in the month of Feb 2015, so in case if you are reading much beyond it, kindly check the data once more before making a note of it. Let us try to name all the major options available in India and look at the ways to approach these brands;

DELHI PUBLIC SCHOOL (DPS)
From the DPS website “From the beginning in the President’s Estate in 1941 as Church High School to Naveen Bharat School in 1947 and finally in 1949 at its present location on Mathura Road, DPS has traversed a long journey. The birth of a new nation in 1947 was in a way the beginning of DPS (called Naveen Bharat then), a momentous time in the history of our nation, when a beginning was made to fulfil a social, national need. DPS Mathura Road was the only school till DPS R.K.Puram came into being in 1972. Over 200 schools that followed are simple assertions of the strength that is DPS. Yet what has remained unchanged is the zest and spirit to achieve and to excel. Thus the DPS family is a living testimony to one of the oldest institutions in India -the joint family system .Educational programmes evolve from the felt needs, incorporating contextual issues and challenges. Activities and events related to value education, environment, health education, games and sports, visual and performing arts, culture and heritage, international experience sharing, personality development etc. are effectively woven into the main fabric of school curriculum.”Here is the current list of schools under the DPS bannerHow to go about taking / starting a DPS FranchiseInitially there was a lot of controversy between DPS Society and DPS Trust. Now it is very clear that SOCIETY is the one who is thr rightful owner of the Brand DPS. So one has to approach society to gain an access to the DPS franchise. Here is a link explaining the orders by the court and here is the Court Oder. As of Feb 2015 as per the website, they have 183 branches across India.So now when we are clear DPS society is the rightful owner of the brand DPS, one can approach their office at

The Delhi Public School Society
F-Block, East of Kailash
New Delhi 110065, India

There is a complete process outlined before a franchise is given for a city. Here is a list taken from a few websites

1. Finance required
2. Selection of a site
3. Approval of site
4. Sign MoU
5. School Infrastructure
7. Franchisee agreement
8. Pre- launch preparation and plans
9. Post-launch preparation and plans
10. Royalty

Costs, fees, and profit or return of investment
There are three types of DPS franchise which depends on the investment and land available, Pre School, primary school and high school.
Some of the websites state that apart from that about Rs. 8-10 lakhs is the initial investment beside the construction cost of the school. So if we calculate total investment including land, construction and other charges about Rs. 35- 40 lakhs will be the minimum investment to start the franchise of Delhi Public School. This is not verified, I am stating it from this link

Here is some News you should read before approaching DPS.

1) Private school barred from using DPS logo

2) Member demands administrator for DPS Society

3) Delhi Public School Society faces allegations of fraud

4) School fined Rs.10 lakh for using Delhi Public School logo, name

5) Are Delhi Public Schools generating black money?

  1. Dear Sir,
    I am working as a professor in Engineering college in Bangalore. I hail from Begusari Bihar. I am planning to start a DPS in my land it is nearly 4 Acer and is 10km away from City on NH 31A which connects Delhi and Guwahati . How can I go further for the same.? Please suggest me some idea.

  3. Sir I have a own land I want a franchise of your school but I have a capable to invest 1-2 crore gave me some direction about… Ur branch is support me or not and how to get a loan ya some other way…to suggest me I think u understand my words what can I say

  4. If I had my own land at bhadohi(sant ravidas nagar) u.p. what will be the construction cost. Of dps school & time period of return.

    1. Dear Ruchi, Cost of construction with furniture is generally around Rs 1000 to 11,00 Rs band. How much you construct is totally upon you, a good starting figure will 30,000 square feet and more. This makes it about 3 – 4 crores. Time of return shall depend on a host of factors but a good approximation will 7 – 8 years.

      About DPS i don’t know, you will have to find someone who can get DPS for you.

  5. Hello sir,
    We are a group of professionals looking forward for a DPS franchise at Mandla M.P.

    1. DPS society does not distribute franchise. Be aware of fraud. Plz consult DPS office at Greater Kailash, New Delhi or you can consult on telephone with Delhi std code available at dps society’s website.

    1. In this money, no franchise is possible. For a decent school to come up you would require at least 3-4 crore Rs over a period of 18 months or so to invest.This is exclusive of the cost of land.
