3 schools in Shillong with annual fees in the ₹2 – ₹5 lakh per year bracket. 2 CBSE.
Schools in the ₹2l – ₹5l bracket in Shillong typically sit in the ₹2.11 L – ₹2.84 L/year annual tuition band. Guardians filtering by budget usually want to confirm three things: that the headline annual fee band is annual not quarterly, that transport and meals aren't hidden add-ons, and that the school publishes a clean grade-wise schedule.
At the ₹2l – ₹5l tier, expect a defined campus footprint, the basic academic spaces, structured sports time and the standard board-aligned curriculum. The further-up tiers add depth on facilities, smaller class sizes and richer co-curricular calendars rather than fundamentally different academics.
It's worth scanning one bracket above and one below your target — the boundary schools sometimes offer the best value when their fees are close to your range but facilities are noticeably stronger or weaker than the bracket average.
