IB, CIE Programmes In International Schools In Mumbai

International schools in Mumbai offer mainly 2 International Education Programs/Curriculum/Syllabus/Courses. These are International Baccalaureate (IB) and  University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme

Geneva based International Baccalaureate (IB) offers four international educational programmes for children between the ages of 3 to 19. Among the four IB programs, “IBDP” is the most popular among IB schools in Mumbai.

1. Primary Years Programme (PYP): From grade/standard KG to 5, for children of ages 3 to 12.
2. Middle Years Programme (MYP): From grade/standard 6 to 10, for children of ages 11 to 16.

4. Career-related Programme (CP): From grade/standard 11 to 12, for children of ages 16 to 19.

International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) (grade 11 and 12) is recognized by Indian colleges and universities. International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma has been recognized by the Association of Indian Universities since 1983. This recognition was renewed in 2010 and it applies to all universities in India. Students intending to take up medicine may need to take up extra science courses. Indian colleges and universities require percentage marks for standard 12, which is not the grading system for IB. For Indian students International Baccalaureate has a provision of providing Indian equivalent percentage for the IB Diploma Programme.

Middle Years Programme (MYP) for grade/standard 10 is recognized by Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Association of Indian Universities, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) and other Indian Education boards.

Parents and students should note that results for International Baccalaureate Programmes come out later than many equivalent Indian boards.

Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Programme

Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is the largest provider of international education programmes in the world for children between the ages of 5 to 19. CIE is part of the University of Cambridge, UK.

Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) is formally known as University of Cambridge International Examinations. “IGCSE” is the most popular program among international schools in Mumbai that offer CIE.

1. Cambridge Primary (CP):  From grade/standard KG to 5, for children of ages 5 to 11. Cambridge Primary is sometimes called Cambridge Primary Programme (CPP) and Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP)
2. Cambridge Secondary 1 (CS1): From grade/standard 6 to 8, for children of ages 11 to 14.
3. Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE):  From grade/standard 9 to 10, for children of ages 14 to 16. IGCSE is sometimes called Cambridge Secondary 2 (CS2). CIE also offers Cambridge “O“ Level for this age group.
4. Cambridge International AS (Advanced Subsidiary) and A (Advanced) Level: From grade/standard 11 to 12, for children of ages 16 to 19. CIE also offers Cambridge “Pre-U“ for this age group.

The IGCSE exam (standard 9 and 10) is recognized by Indian schools, colleges, universities and education boards. Students taking the IGCSE in a minimum of 5 subjects are considered on par with students from State Boards, ICSE, and CBSE. Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education accept IGCSE for admission to Junior Colleges (standard 11 and 12) in Maharashtra.

Cambridge International Examinations “AS” (Advanced Subsidiary) and “A” (Advanced) Level are recognized by Indian colleges and universities. The Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and many State Education Boards, including the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, have recognized that certificates issued by Cambridge International Examination. Students intending to pursue engineering and medicine must take Chemistry, Physics, Biology or Mathematics and English at AS Level.

Previously the results for IGCSE used to come out later than Indian board results. Now the IGCSE exams are held earlier to coincide with the Indian education system.

At the end of the Mumbai Monsoon Season (30 Sept, 2018), water level in Mumbai’s lakes was around 91% (it was 99% in 2017).

On 15 November, 2018, BMC imposed a 10% cut in water supply. As on 18 February, 2019, Mumbai Lakes levels stood at 42% (same time last year it was 56%).

Latest Water Levels In Mumbai’s Lakes

Listed below are the latest 2019 water levels in the lakes that supply water to Mumbai city.

[Mcum = Million Cubic Metre][NOTE: Some figures have not been updated]

The total storage capacity of Mumbai’s lakes is 14.80 lakh million litres. In order to avoid water supply cuts, Mumbai’s lakes must fill up to 14.47 lakh million liters (MLD) on 30 September, which is the end of the monsoon season in Mumbai.

Mumbai’s Daily Water Requirements And Water From Mumbai’s Lakes

• Mumbai City’s daily water requirement is 4,200 million liters. Mumbai’s Municipality (BMC) supplies only 3,500 to 3,750 million liters of water per day. The gap between demand and supply is met by tankers, wells, bore wells, rain water harvesting, etc.
• Formula used by BMC to determine daily water requirement in Mumbai is 135 litres per person in housing societies, 45 litres per person in slums (almost 50% of Mumbai),135 litres per hotel bed and 70 litres per restaurant table.
• With a capacity to filter 2,100 million liters of water per day, the Bhandup water treatment plant is the largest such treatment plant in Asia. 4 water treatment plants supply water to Mumbai.
• According to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, 900 million litres of water is wasted everyday in Mumbai. This wastage occurs because of leakages in pipes and theft of water. After this loss of water, BMC is able to supply around 975 million litres of water to the main city (population of 3.1 million), 930 million liters to Mumbai’s Eastern suburbs (population of 3 million) and only 620 million liters to the Western suburbs from Goregaon to Dahisar (population of 3 million).
• Mumbai’a Water distribution network is 6,000 Km long. This amazing water network is designed in such as way that almost all the water distribution is done via gravity.
• 7 lakes that supply water to Mumbai are Bhatsa Lake (built in 1983), Upper Vaitarna (built in 1973), Middle Vaitarna (built in 2012), Tansa Lake (built in 1925), ModakSagar Lake (built in 1957), Tulsi Lake (built in 1879) and Vihar Lake (built in 1860).
• The total annual water capacity of Mumbai’s 7 lakes is 14,47,000 million liters. Of these 7 lakes, only Tulsi Lake and Vihar Lake are within Mumbai city.
• Bhatsa Lake provides water to the Eastern part of Mumbai, whereas the other lakes provide water to the main city of Mumbai and the suburbs. Bhatsa also supplies water to Thane.
• The two biggest water sources for Mumbai – Bhatsa Lake and Upper Vaitarna – are managed by the Maharashtra state government. The balance 5 Mumbai Lakes are managed by the MCGM.
• Damanganga – Wagh – Pinjal water linking project and the Gargai project are the major new projects to increase water supply to Mumbai. For the Damanganga–Wagh-Pinjal Project, water from Damanganga River (in Gujarat), Wagh River and Pinjal River (both in Maharashtra) will be diverted to Mumbai using 3 dams and 2 tunnels. This will augment Mumbai’s water supply by a massive 1,600 million liters per day. An additional 865 million liters per day will be supplied once the Pinjal Dam is complete. The Gargai Dam project will increase Mumbai’s daily water supply by 227 million liters.
• Navi Mumbai gets water from Dehrang Dam in Panvel and Pune gets water from Panshet Dam and Khadakwasla Dam.

In case of water related issues in Mumbai, the BMC helpline numbers are South Mumbai (23695835, 23678109), Western Suburbs (26146852, 26184173) and Eastern Suburbs (25153258).

Flood Risk Dates In 2019 Mumbai Monsoon (High Tide > 4.5M)

In Mumbai rain water flows into the Arabian Sea through the drain system. When high tide in the sea is over 4.5 meters, there is danger of sea water entering Mumbai via the drain pipes. In such situations Mumbai’s Municipal Corporation (BMC) closes the storm drains. When this happens, there is no exit for Mumbai’s rain water. When rainfall is heavy and high tide is over 4.5 meters, there is a high probability of flooding in Mumbai.

Places that are at a low level are at a greater risk of flooding. This a link to Mumbai’s Low Lying Areas that are at risk of Flooding in the Rains.

Listed below are the flood risk dates and time when Mumbai is at risk of flooding during the 2019 Monsoon season.
