From popular urban schools in Delhi to tiny primary schools in remote villages of Assam, we have mapped them all. 36 states and UTs, all in one place.
Looking for a school nearby? You don't have to search only by city. We let you search by village or ward, so you can find a school within walking distance.
Is it a government school, a private academy, or a central school like KV/Navodaya? We show you the exact management so you know what to expect.
We've combined school data with real Census numbers. Check the literacy rates and gender ratios of any district to understand its educational background.
Private schools have to reserve 25% of their seats for kids from lower-income families under the RTE Act. We'll show you if a school offers this.
Does the school have clean toilets for girls and boys? Is there drinking water, electricity, or a playground? Check these basic details before visiting.
Easily check whether a school is affiliated with CBSE, ICSE, NIOS, or the local State Board. Choose the right board without guessing.
If you are a parent trying to plan your child's education, the Indian school system can feel like a maze. Let us break down the different school levels and management styles in simple terms so you can make the best decision.
This is where your child's schooling journey starts. Primary schools focus on basic reading, writing, and math. Under the landmark Right to Education (RTE) Act, every child in India aged 6 to 14 has the right to free education. Currently, India has over 5.2 Lakh primary schools, mostly run by local governments.
Upper Primary (or middle) schools cover Class 6 to 8. They act as a bridge between basic primary learning and high school. In rural areas, middle schools are usually built close to primary schools so children don't have to travel far. There are about 3.8 Lakh middle schools operating in India.
These are the crucial board exam years. Secondary schools cover Class 9 and 10, ending with the Class 10 board exams. Senior Secondary schools cover Class 11 and 12, where students prepare for college. This is when you need to pay close attention to the school's board affiliation (like CBSE, ICSE, or the local State Board).
Quick Stat: India has more government-run schools (10.5 Lakh) than private schools (5.5 Lakh). However, private school enrollment has been rising rapidly in urban areas over the last decade.
Not all schools are run the same way. In India, you will find four main types of schools:
India has 16,53,159 schools in the UDISE+ database maintained by the Ministry of Education. They range from tiny one-room schools in Himalayan villages to large private schools in cities. We've indexed all of them.
Type the school name or village name in the search box. Pick the school from the results. The 11-digit UDISE code is the first thing you'll see on the school's page. Copy it from there.
All records come directly from the official UDISE+ database managed by the Ministry of Education. We don't change or add anything. For admission dates, fee details, or contact numbers, call the school directly — that information changes and we don't update it in real-time.
Yes. Our directory goes down to the village level. Type your village name in the search bar and it will show all schools registered under that village in UDISE+. If your village is very small, try the block name instead.
Category tells you which classes the school teaches. Primary means Class 1 to 5. Upper Primary is 6 to 8. Secondary is up to Class 10. Higher Secondary goes up to Class 12. Type tells you who studies there — co-ed, girls only, or boys only.
