try to wear white clothes as it will reflect the heat, however its not hot at the moment after feb is when it will start to get hot, shorts i dont think its a good idea, t shirts are ok or you can wear smart casual clothes depending on where you are going in india!

Use your common sense. India has changed a lot and your stereotypical view is far from what it is today.

Dress conservatively and you'll be fine. Western attire is the norm in cities but if you are visiting remote places then your usual dress code may not be appropriate.

Dresses are optional in India.

nowadays dress-code for ladies in India is very close to the "western" one. Let me give you a number of small advices:
1. no difference what you will wear, you will draw attention of people. Please, be ready for this.
2. my suggestion to avoid the cloths you feel uncomfortable and do not know the current trend design. Do not buy "salwar-suits" unless in prooved place and with local lady, who can be a guide. Foreigners wearing odd indian clothes is in the top "hihi-haha" indian list.
3. pair of jeans will do the best. You can choose from full-length or capris.
4. Long bouse(short will be actually ok as well, but you can feel easier in the long one). Color is of no difference, as it is not that much hot in India during february. Should cover the shoulders. Avoid seen-through materials.
5. Skirt. Can be either long of semi-long. Modern indian girls wear knee-long or little bit longer. No mini-skirts.
6. Choose a comfortable shoes. I would advice smth. with flat soles and without heels.

If after this you are not sure about your indian trip wardrobe, visit Pantaloons or ShoppersStop store in any big city and take your pick. They have bright collections of both indian traditional and western outfits that completely within "dress-code":)

you will be fine but you must have the respect when visiting places as you will be when you are enquiring long shorts and t shirts and if near beaches take swim gear and yes take pashmina for if you visit holy places as long as shoulders are covered you are OK and shoes or sandals are left outside cover head with pashmina for a mark of respect,you can get the tunic and trousers made to measure for little money in a few hours very comfortable and nice to wear the better material the more you pay but they are worth it and look fab Evan when you get home have a lovely time and enjoy

Why don't you ask the Indian Embassy, I'm sure they will be sensible about it and it would show initiative as far as the school is concerned.

linen would be cool, the school should have told you how to dress respectfully in India but you seem to be going along the right lines just don't show to much.

A salwar kameez made of cotton is practical easy for washing and cheap and will keep you cool... have a good trip i spent 7 winters there loved the place...

Not a strappy top, just try to be as modest as possible. Wear light fabrics in light colors, no black. Wear a lot of cotton. You only have to be modest in public and when you visit temples and such. Cap sleeve tee's maybe? If you have to wear tanks, then now spaghetti straps, thick straps. And yeah, long shorts, capris, the like. Enjoy India!
