Situated in Karmik Nagar near IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, Delhi Public School Dhanbad is a unit of the Coalfield Educational Trust and holds CBSE affiliation number 3430052. Running classes from Nursery through Class 12, the school has established itself as a recognisable name for families in Dhanbad and surrounding localities who seek structured English-medium schooling. Its location near one of India's premier technical institutes sets the context for a campus that takes academic rigour seriously, right from the pre-primary years.

As a CBSE school in Dhanbad, DPS maintains a publicly listed record of Class X and Class XII toppers, alongside a dedicated section tracking students who have cleared IIT-JEE and NEET - a relatively uncommon transparency for a school listing at this level. The school follows the Litera Octave framework, an eight-pillar approach covering assessment, teacher quality, parental engagement, enrichment programmes, life skills, inter-school networks, infrastructure, and blended content delivery. Principal Dr. Sarita Sinha leads the institution with an emphasis on balancing academic work with co-curricular participation and values-based learning.

The campus features hi-tech smart classrooms, a well-equipped library, dedicated sports facilities, and a proprietary technology platform called emountlitera that tracks student progress and connects parents, teachers, and students in one system. Online classes, a dedicated mobile app, and regular parent-facing workshops - including informal Coffee Mornings with the principal - form part of how the school maintains communication across its community. Recent school events documented on the website include Earth Day, Graduation Day, an Orientation Programme, and participation in Pariksha Pe Charcha's 9th edition.

Admissions for the 2026-27 session are currently open across Pre-Nursery, Nursery, Classes I–VIII, and Class XI (both DPS and Non-DPS students). Registration forms are available directly on the school's website at dpsdhanbad.edu.in. For enquiries, the school can be reached at 9708037899, 9708035799, or via email at erpdpsdhn@gmail.com. The campus is located at Karmik Nagar, PO ISM, Dhanbad, Jharkhand - PIN 826004.
