SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE - LKG Interview



We had applied for a seat in LKG at SBOA School and Junior College, Anna Nagar Western Extension, Chennai; affiliated to CBSE on the 21st of Jan 2009.

The interview was scheduled for the 31st Jan 2009. We just completed the interview yesterday.

We were worried that we might have to wait for ever as there were over a thousand candidates to be interviewed (For, I guess around approximately 600 seats). However, the interview process was conducted so smoothly that it must have taken considerable amount of planning from the SBOA school authorities. We were through with the entire process within an hour, including a waiting time of around 40 Min's.

The interviewer was friendly and asked my daughter a few simple questions like her name, colour of the dress she was wearing and to name a couple of common animals (by showing her toy animals).

On the whole a very friendly and non-intimidating interview. After this, the applications get passed to another school staff, to whom the parents can ask any questions they have regarding the SBOA admission process and this person also gave us information on when we can expect to be intimidated about the selection and admission of our daughter into SBOA, if selected.
