DPS-MIS expects to open its second campus in the country by September, 2019

Parents of students in Qatar know how difficult it is to get admission in Indian schools in the country.

But come September 2019 and things may get a little easier, as the second campus of the Delhi Public School-Modern Indian School (DPS-MIS) in Doha is expected to open then, according to the Gulf Times.

The foundation stone for the state-of-the-art school complex will be laid on Saturday in a 32,000sqm plot of land at the Wukair area, according to DPS-MIS Managing Committee president Hassan Chougule. 

The school president said the new campus would be located close to the major bridge across the Wakrah-Wukair-Industrial Area Road (which is part of the Al Wakrah bypass). 

The proposed building, comprising 124 classrooms, would be spread over nearly 21,000sqm, with a maximum capacity of 3,600 students. 

"There has been enormous demand from the country’s residents for admissions at the DPS-MIS and this is one of the reasons why the school has decided to start the construction of its second campus in less than five years since the purpose-built main campus was set up near Immigration office in Al Wakrah,” Chougule told Gulf Times.

At present, the DPS-MIS campus in Al Wakrah has about 5,600 students.

“Three companies have been shortlisted after floating the tender and our hope is the contracting firm selected would be able to complete the new building in about 15 months from May,” the school president added.
