Schools in Telangana
Telangana has 58,127 registered schools across 33 districts and 582 blocks. Most are government-run schools in rural areas, following the curriculum set by the Telangana Board of Secondary Education (BSE Telangana). Private schools, mostly in cities, run CBSE or ICSE.
Private schools must reserve 25% of their Class 1 seats for children from low-income families under the RTE Act. The state runs this through an online lottery — applications open around March-April each year. Use the district links below to find schools near your area.
