Where Innovation Begins - India’s Most Insightful STEM School Rankings
Recognizing K-12 schools that are shaping the next generation of scientists, engineers, and tech leaders through bold and future-ready education. We honour schools where STEM isn't just taught - it's lived, explored, and applied through hands-on learning and breakthrough thinking. From Classrooms to Code, Labs to Launchpads - Recognizing Real Impact.
STEM School Rankings
A robust, data-driven ranking system that celebrates schools delivering meaningful STEM learning outcomes for India’s future. We rank institutions that empower students to solve real-world problems, embrace emerging technologies, and lead with creativity. These rankings identify and uplift schools transforming how STEM is taught, explored, and connected to everyday life.
We spotlight schools that create environments where experimentation thrives, and students are encouraged to invent, discover, and lead. Every coder, creator, and change-maker begins with inspiration. These schools are where that journey takes flight. From robotics labs to AI electives, we rank institutions fluent in the future - where STEM learning is a way of life.
Purpose and Process
Chronicles of India's STEM Rankings are more than recognition—they're a national benchmark for academic innovation and institutional growth. The primary objective of our STEM Rankings is to provide a transparent, data-driven assessment of educational institutions excelling in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Management (STEM) fields. By evaluating various performance indicators, we aim to guide students, educators, and policymakers in making informed decisions that foster academic excellence and innovation.
Our ranking methodology encompasses several key steps to ensure accuracy and reliability. The ranking methodology employs a comprehensive three-step process. Initially, data is collected from diverse sources such as institutional self-assessments, government and accreditation reports, and feedback from industry and alumni. Next, institutions are evaluated across multiple dimensions through a framework that integrates quantitative analysis, qualitative peer reviews, and third-party audits. To ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the data, a two-tier verification system is used—starting with automated consistency checks and followed by independent audits and peer reviews for quality assurance. For fine details, refer the STEM Ranking Handbook and Manual.

STEM in India
India has made significant strides in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Management) education, emerging as a global leader by contributing approximately 31% of the world's STEM graduates. Despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly in infrastructure disparities; for instance, only 47% of government schools have science laboratories, with even lower percentages in rural areas.
To elevate India's global STEM rankings, a multifaceted approach is essential. Enhancing infrastructure, especially in underserved regions, is crucial to provide equitable access to quality education. Investing in teacher training programs can improve pedagogical methods, fostering better student engagement and understanding. Strengthening industry-academia collaborations can align curricula with market needs, enhancing employability. Furthermore, increasing research funding and promoting innovation through supportive policies can drive advancements in STEM fields. Collectively, these efforts can position India more prominently on the global STEM stage.
