EduConnectIn Best School Award 2025-26

EduConnectIn proudly presents the Best School Award 2025–26, a landmark initiative conducted across 12 major cities in India. This nationwide recognition program evaluated over 55,000 schools, impacting the lives of nearly 3 crore students.

What are ECI Ratings

The EduConnectIn Ratings (ECI Ratings) is a multidimensional evaluation system designed to capture both the technical excellence of a school and the voice of the parent community. It blends hard metrics like infrastructure, faculty qualifications, and curriculum innovation with soft indicators such as parental satisfaction, communication quality, and student well-being.
  • Technical Excellence: Covers infrastructure, pedagogy, digital readiness, faculty credentials, extracurricular diversity, and academic outcomes.
