parameters of school education excellence including aca-
demic reputation, curriculum and pedagogy, co-curricular
education, faculty competence, leadership, infrastructure,
value for money, teacher welfare etc.
For the parmeter of excellence rankings of India’s Top
10 day schools, under the broad category of day schools,
top-ranked schools in each sub-category (co-ed, day-cum-
boarding, boys and girls) compete with each other.
