Thoughts on NPS International School. Any alternatives?

I'm (16M) a student from Nagaland currently studying in the 10th grade in my home state. I'm about to take my 10th board exams and I want to go out of state after 10th to meet competition and build more social skills. As the title suggests, I had decided to go with NPS International, but I'm starting to have my doubts; more on that later.

I'm a JEE aspirant, as I'm hoping of turning out as of turning out as an automobile engineer in the future. Now for my 11 and 12, After consulting friends, family, and some references in Guwahati, some recommended DPS, while others suggested NPS. I was informed that for science students, NPS is preferred over DPS, while for arts, the opposite is true. Not that it matters much to me.

I had decided to go to NPS, but after researching and reading reviews about the school, I've become really paranoid about my decision. I read about physical abuse, their profit motive, unsanitary conditions, and stress given to students (which I'm okay with). My references hadn't mentioned any of these negative aspects; they only shared positive points.

Now I know a school, especially in a country like India, cant be perfect and each will have big flaws. But I'm still worried if my decision to go to NPS is right. So Please share your thoughts/views on the school. Are there any alternatives? I will stay as a boarder in the school. My parents are keen on keeping me within the Northeast at least until my 12th grade, so I can't extend further than the northeast and into the mainland.

Thank you
