Public Benefit Directory Notice

KnowYourSchools (accessible via in.knowyourschools.com) operates solely as an independent, unbiased public education directory and analytical discovery portal. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Ministry of Education, any State Department of Education, or any individual school, college, or trust listed on this platform.

1. Source of School Information (UDISE+ Open Records)

The basic institutional records, school names, unique 11-digit UDISE+ identifier codes, category classifications, pupil-teacher ratios (PTR), geographic coordinates, and infrastructure indicators featured on KnowYourSchools are collated from statutory public open datasets published by the Department of School Education and Literacy (DoSEL), Ministry of Education, Government of India, under the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP).

While we make extensive engineering efforts to normalize, validate, and geocode this data for public convenience, KnowYourSchools makes no warranties, representations, or undertakings regarding the absolute currency or error-free status of government survey filings.

2. Strict Non-Commercial Neutrality Policy

Unlike conventional education portals, KnowYourSchools maintains a strict zero-commercial-influence standard:

  • No school can purchase a higher rank, search position, or verified placement.
  • No institution can pay to conceal verified infrastructure or ratio data.
  • We do not accept commissions, referral fees, or lead-generation payments for student admissions.

3. Admissions, Fee Structures & Board Affiliations

KnowYourSchools does not process student admissions or collect school fees. School tuition rates, seat availabilities, admission dates, bus routes, and specific board affiliations (such as CBSE, CISCE/ICSE, IB, Cambridge, or State Boards) are subject to change at the sole discretion of the respective school managements and certifying boards. Parents, guardians, and students are strongly advised to verify all critical information directly with official school administrative offices before making educational or financial commitments.

4. External Links & Third-Party Advertising

This website may contain links to external third-party websites (such as official board portals, state education department pages, or institutional sites) as well as third-party advertisements (such as Google AdSense). These external links and advertisements are provided solely for user reference. KnowYourSchools does not endorse, control, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, safety, or privacy practices of external third-party websites.

5. Trademarks & Intellectual Property Notice

All institutional logos, emblems, trade names, and board acronyms (e.g., CBSE, ICSE, NIOS, IB, NCERT) are the registered trademarks of their respective owners.
