How to use these rankings

Read this before you shortlist.

India publishes no school-level examination results, so no results ranking is possible. This section is a complete directory of every school affiliated to the Central Board of Secondary Education, the national board whose curriculum most English-medium schools follow, with the affiliation level, management, address, website, founding year and managing trust from the board's own register. Each profile is then matched to the Ministry of Education's UDISE+ school census, which adds the figures that matter when choosing a school: enrolment (boys and girls), teachers and the pupil–teacher ratio, five-year enrolment trend, classes offered, medium of instruction, residential status, classrooms and facilities such as library, playground, ICT lab and internet. Use it to find and shortlist CBSE schools in your district and compare them side by side.

  • Nothing on this site ranks Indian schools by results, because no board or ministry publishes school-level results. Lists are ordered by size, pupil–teacher ratio, growth, founding year or name, each of which describes the school rather than its outcomes.
  • UDISE+ figures are matched to CBSE schools by name and pin code; a small share of schools cannot be matched and show the CBSE register fields only. UDISE+ data is self-reported by schools in the annual census.
  • Only CBSE-affiliated schools are profiled. Schools affiliated to CISCE (ICSE and ISC), state boards and international boards are not yet included.
  • The directory comes from the CBSE affiliation register and reflects affiliation status, not inspection or quality findings.
