Bengaluru’s private schools mix Karnataka SSLC, CBSE, ICSE, and IB campuses along the IT corridor. BBMP neighbourhoods change faster than catchment lists, so admissions files often arrive from another city mid-year when a parent’s posting moves.

Live GPS is a separate hardware decision. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
