Find the right School & College for you

Compare Every School, College, and Course — In One Place

Stop juggling fifteen browser tabs, an outdated fees PDF, and a friend’s WhatsApp forward about “the best engineering college.” My State School brings the five things that matter most in India’s education journey into one structured, verified directory: Schools, Colleges, Courses, Exams, and Universities.

Every listing — from VIT Vellore to Miranda House to Delhi Public School, Bangalore East — follows the same format: location, fee range, rating, facilities, and admission details. Compare apples to apples, not five sources in five different formats.

Explore by Category

Schools — Day schools, boarding schools, and K-12 institutions filtered by board (CBSE, ICSE, IB, State), city, and fee range. See how Greenwood High International stacks up against Kendriya Vidyalaya No.1.

Colleges — Filter by state, city, stream (Engineering, Management, Medical, Law, Design, and more), and course level. Weigh IIT Delhi against Christ University, or compare women’s colleges like Lady Shri Ram College and Miranda House.

Courses — Research a course on its own terms — eligibility, typical duration, average fees — independent of any one college. Start with BCA, M.Tech, B.Sc Nursing, or LLB.

Exams — Entrance exam dates, eligibility, and syllabus context — mapped directly to the courses and colleges they feed into.

Universities — Including online-first options, so flexibility is a real filter. Compare something like IGNOU against a traditional on-campus degree.

Built to Compare, Not Just List

Anyone can list a college’s name. The harder question is whether ₹1,98,000–₹3,96,000 a year at VIT Vellore is better value than ₹35,000–₹55,000 at Hindu College once placements and location costs are factored in. Every listing is built to sit inside our compare view, so you can put two or three institutions side by side on fees, ratings, and location before filling out a single enquiry form.

India has over 14 lakh schools and more than 40,000 colleges and 1,000+ universities (UDISE+ and AISHE data). At that scale, the constraint isn’t availability — it’s filtering. A directory only earns its place if it filters honestly.

How We Verify Every Listing

Step	What We Check	Why It Matters
1. Accreditation Check	Confirms the institution’s board/regulatory recognition (UGC, AICTE, state board, etc.)	Filters out unrecognized or defunct programs before you invest time researching them
2. Fee Transparency Audit	Cross-checks published fee ranges against official prospectuses/admission pages	Avoids the common “starting from ₹X” trick that hides mandatory add-on costs
3. Placement & Outcome Data	Reviews placement stats and top recruiters where institutions disclose them	Separates marketing claims from documented outcomes
4. Review Moderation	Screens submitted ratings/reviews for authenticity before publishing	Keeps the rating next to a listing meaningful rather than inflated

That’s why every listing shows a visible rating and fee range instead of a vague “contact us for details.” If a data point can’t be verified, we flag it — we don’t publish a guess.
