How to read this table

Each row is one school. Compare ranks only within this category and edition.

# Position on this list 1 Best rank Rank columns = this category only – Not published

Each row is one school. Check the Ranking Category column before you compare two schools.
Ranking category — a named merit list (e.g. India’s Top 20 International Schools). City / State / India ranks show position in that category only.
Parameter — schools ranked on one area (Academic Reputation, Infrastructure, Sports, etc.). The rank is for that parameter only, not every list on the site.
Rank 1 is always the best. A school at India rank 4 is 4th in that category or parameter — not on all rankings.
