The accolades belong to our dedicated faculty, supportive parents, and brilliant students who make ODM a true symbol of excellence and value-based education."

The Education World India School Rankings, recognised as the nation's most comprehensive and credible school evaluation survey, assessed over 4,000 schools across India for the 2025-26 edition. The rankings have been instrumental in introducing competitive spirit into the K-12 education sector while instilling institutional pride among primary, secondary, and senior secondary schools nationwide.

ODM Public School's ascent to the top position in Odisha and entry into the national top 10 represent a remarkable achievement in the competitive landscape of Indian education. The school's performance across 14 parameters of educational excellence—including academic reputation, infrastructure, faculty competence, individual attention to students, and co-curricular education—has been evaluated by a diverse group of education stakeholders comprising parents, teachers, educationists, and senior students.

Mr Swoyan Satyendu, CEO of ODM Educational Group, reflected on the dual recognition: "Being recognised by Education World is a testament to ODM's holistic approach. The rankings consider not just academics but the complete educational ecosystem. This dual recognition across two states demonstrates the consistency of our educational philosophy and our commitment to nurturing excellence, innovation, and holistic education at every campus."

The simultaneous recognition of both institutions underscores ODM Educational Group's expanding footprint in eastern India and its commitment to consistently high standards across all its schools. The achievement comes at a time when Indian parents and students are increasingly discerning about the quality of education, looking beyond traditional metrics to evaluate schools on multiple parameters of excellence.

As ODM Educational Group continues to set new benchmarks in K-12 education, these rankings affirm the institution's vision. We aim to create future-ready citizens equipped with knowledge, skills, and values. For families seeking educational excellence and holistic development for their children, the message is clear: Grow with ODM.
