PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 2, AFS Jalahalli East, Bengaluru

The useful thing about this school's own description is that it goes past adjectives and into subject codes. Most Kendriya Vidyalaya pages say Science and Commerce and stop. This one states the combinations: Science with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology plus Hindi or Computer Science, and Commerce with Informatics Practices, Mathematics or Hindi, offered at the All India Senior School Certificate Examination. For a family choosing between two campuses on the same side of the city, knowing whether Computer Science is a live option at Class 11 is exactly the kind of fact that decides it, and here it is published rather than guessed.

The campus sits inside Air Force Station Jalahalli East on what the school describes as roughly fifteen acres, and it has been in its present building since 1995 although the school itself dates from 1983. That makes it the younger of the two Jalahalli Kendriya Vidyalayas by nineteen years; the No. 1 school on the west station goes back to 1964. Both are defence-sector schools, which means the same admission priority order applies at each, so a family eligible at one is eligible at the other and can reasonably apply to both.

Section counts here are three, not four or five. The school's own table gives three parallel sections in every class from Class 1 to Class 10, and its genesis page adds three sections at Class 11 and three at Class 12. Average enrolment per section runs from about 40 in the primary years to 56 in Class 8 and 55 in Class 9, so the upper middle school is where the rooms are fullest. At the last reading no fresh seats were shown anywhere from Class 1 to Class 10.

Three of the school's own pages give three different rolls, which is worth stating plainly rather than papering over. The genesis page says the strength is about 1,700 with a staff of 57. The principal's message says 1,654 pupils and a staff of 60. The homepage counter says 768 boys and 733 girls, totalling 1,501, with 37 teaching and 2 non-teaching staff. The counter is the most recently maintained of the three and the staffing table supports the lower staff figure, but none of this has been independently audited and a parent who needs an exact number should ask the office. A related sign of a page not being refreshed: the deputy commissioner named in the message block on this site is not the officer named on the other Bengaluru Kendriya Vidyalaya sites.

Facilities are listed in more detail than usual. The school records separate laboratories for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, junior science, mathematics, computing and language; three computer laboratories on broadband, with computers also placed in the primary and secondary staff rooms; two LCD projectors in dedicated rooms for technology-aided learning; and, on the sports side, a sports room, a football ground, a basketball court, a kho-kho court and a general play area. It also names the games it coaches specifically, which is volleyball, basketball, kho-kho and athletics. The staffing table is less comfortable reading: eleven Primary Teachers against seventeen sanctioned, two of three TGT Mathematics posts vacant since April 2025, two of three TGT Social Science posts open since May 2022, both TGT Sanskrit posts empty since May 2020 and one of two PGT Chemistry posts unfilled since March 2025.
