From Kishanganj, Purnea, Araria or Katihar to Islampur, step by step
Every year families from Bihar admit their children to Mount Litera Zee School, Islampur, 30 km from Kishanganj on NH-27. The process is simple, but a few documents take time to arrange in Bihar, so it pays to start early. This checklist is what our admissions team tells parents on the phone, written down.
Keep these ready
- Birth certificate of the child (municipal or panchayat)
- Aadhaar card of the child and a parent
- Passport-size photographs of the child and parents
- Last report card or mark sheet from the present school
- Transfer certificate (TC) from the present school, for Class 2 onwards: Bihar board, CBSE or any other board is accepted; ask the school to issue it after the result
- Address proof and the parent’s contact number and WhatsApp number
- Medical details: blood group, allergies, vaccination record, for the hostel file
Send photos of the documents on WhatsApp first; bring the originals when you visit. The full list is on the admission process page.

Questions families from Bihar ask
We live in Bihar. Can our child study at Mount Litera Zee School, Islampur?
Yes. Many of our hostel students come from Bihar: Kishanganj, Thakurganj, Bahadurganj, Araria, Purnea and Katihar. The school is about 30 km from Kishanganj and about 70 km before Siliguri on the same highway, so parents can visit and return the same day. Hindi is taught as a language and our admissions team speaks Hindi; call or WhatsApp +91 89731 90731. See students from Bihar & Siliguri.
What documents are required for admission?
Medical fitness certificate; attested copy of the birth certificate; progress card of the previous academic year (Class I onwards); previous school’s leaving/transfer certificate; ration card, passport or Aadhaar copy; parents’ identity proof; 4 passport-size photographs of the child and 2 recent photographs each of the father and mother (or guardian). Admission remains provisional until the original TC/LC is received.
Is there an entrance test?
There is no written test for the pre-primary classes (Nursery to UKG); the child has a friendly interaction with the school team. For higher classes there is an assessment in English, Mathematics and EVS/Science together with an interaction. Our admissions team will confirm the exact process for your child’s class.
