Schools by state and board

Select a board, then choose a state to view matching school listings.

Understand your options

A plain-language guide to school boards

A board is only one part of a school decision. Teaching quality, student support, daily travel, fees, and the overall environment matter just as much.

CBSE

A widely available national curriculum

CBSE schools generally follow a structured curriculum associated with NCERT learning resources. Families who may relocate often consider CBSE because it is offered in many parts of India.

CISCE / ICSE

A broad curriculum with detailed subject study

ICSE is the Class 10 examination conducted by CISCE. Compare subjects, language options, project work, and each school's approach to assessment.

IB

Programme-based, inquiry-led learning

IB schools may offer the Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma, or Career-related Programme. Confirm which programmes and year groups a school is authorised to provide.

Before you apply

A 10-point school comparison checklist

Study resources

Use question papers as a learning tool

A question paper is most useful when it helps a learner practise time management, recognise recurring formats, and identify topics that need revision. It should support regular study—not replace textbooks, classroom learning, or current guidance from the relevant school or board.

Browse available question papers
  • Practise once without notes to understand the current level.
  • Review every error and record the concept behind it.
  • Repeat under timed conditions only after revising weak areas.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Use the directory to research options, then verify important details at source.

Where should I begin my school search?

Start with your child's age, learning needs, preferred language, realistic travel time, and family budget. Then compare suitable boards and explore schools in your state.

Does a listing mean that SchoolsIndia.Net recommends a school?

No. A directory listing is a starting point for research, not an endorsement, ranking, or admission guarantee. Families should make their own checks.

How should I verify affiliation and admission information?

Contact the school and consult the relevant board's official sources. Ask for current affiliation details, admission dates, eligibility, documents, and the full fee schedule.

Can school information change after it is listed?

Yes. Programmes, fees, contacts, facilities, and admission policies can change. Confirm time-sensitive information directly with the school before acting on it.
