Schools in India — directory overview

AdmissionSchool's directory covers 40,000 verified schools in India across 250 cities and 28 states, with structured listings for fees, boards, admissions and parent reviews.

Schools by board

Coverage by board reflects the Indian K-12 mix: CBSE (28,000) · STATE (6,000) · ICSE (4,500) · IGCSE (600) · IB (250). CBSE remains the largest single board across Indian K-12 schools; ICSE and State boards together account for most of the remainder, with IB and IGCSE serving the smaller international and metro-premium segment.

Day schools and boarding schools

Listings include day schools alongside residential and day-cum-boarding schools. Across the directory there are roughly 36,000 day schools and 4,000 residential or hybrid boarding schools — useful when filtering by commute distance versus full-time hostel options.

Fees across schools in India

The fee landscape across the directory is broad. The bulk of listings cluster in three bands: under ₹50,000 (14,000 schools), ₹50,000–₹1 lakh (10,000 schools) and ₹1–2 lakh (8,000 schools). Premium-tier schools with annual tuition above ₹5 lakh make up a small but rising share. Always confirm the grade-wise fee structure with the school — published bands cover tuition only and rarely include transport, uniform or admission deposits.

Admissions and intake windows

Admission cycles in India typically run from November to March for the April–March academic session. As of the latest sync, 5,000 schools in the directory have an open admission window and another 12,000 are accepting parent enquiries ahead of the next intake. Use the status filter to narrow down to schools you can apply to right now.

How listings are verified

Every listing on AdmissionSchool is verified against the school's own published information — board affiliation, board affiliation number where available, address, official phone and email, fees, and admission timelines. Parent reviews are moderated and tied to specific schools, so the rating reflects first-hand experience rather than aggregated anonymous feedback. The directory is refreshed continuously; the date shown on the page reflects the most recent update to any listing.
