CRGS VS KEGS

Post by Souvik »

Hi All

Just a quick question


We are in catchment of KEGS but my son prefer CRGS, he scored 336-- so he is in amber zone

Can anyone please suggest, which school he might have high chance, so that we can decide our preferences

Thanks in advance

Have a look here for last year's stats

Previous years' are also on here somewhere.

Which school would be easier, logistically?

Confused as to why your preferences are influenced by his chances of being offered a place?

IC for KEGS presumably means quite a journey to CRGS? I'd think it through pretty carefully - not only leaving home earlier and home later but extra curricular activities and friendship groups.

Hi KB

We are in a middle from KEGS and CRGS

So doesn't really matter too much for logistically, it takes 35 min for both school

To be honest with you both are outstanding school, I couldn't find any difference, except KEGS probably Asian dominating CRGS is 50:50

Think about this Souvik, are you sure you understand the preference system?

I'd pick the school he likes more (KEGS, from the sound of things?), since it won't make a difference with regards to travel time.
They're both outstanding schools, with lots of opportunities academically and extra curricular.
