Schools and admissions
Ahmedabad has many good CBSE and Gujarat-board (GSEB) schools, a couple of strong ICSE options and a handful of international schools in the western suburbs.
Moving from one CBSE school to another is simple. The best schools admit early and their waitlists fill fast, so start applying before you move. Most of the popular schools are around Satellite, Thaltej, Bopal and the SG Highway, where families live.

02Healthcare
Hospitals and doctors
Ahmedabad's private hospitals are excellent and very good value, which is a big reason families settle in so easily. The hospitals below hold NABH (India's hospital accreditation) or JCI (the international one) and run modern multispecialty departments. We recommend full family health insurance. Most national insurers have cashless tie-ups with these hospitals.
