Sources & Roadmap

What's real today, what's coming

AISHE — Universities (LIVE)
1,362 real Indian universities, sourced via AIKosh (India's official AI/ML dataset hub) under an Open Government License. This is the current purchasable release.
CBSE affiliated schools (extracted, not yet purchasable)
33,147 real CBSE-affiliated schools mapped via SARAS 7.0. Extraction and normalization are built and verified against live data — held back pending a human legal read on one real copyright question before it ships in a release.
UDISE+ schools (blocked)
Legally cleared (NDSAP/Open Government Data License) but technically blocked by a network-level access issue on our current infrastructure — being re-tested from a different network.
PM SHRI flags, NAAC transition tracking (planned)
Government flagship-school tagging and NAAC's new binary accreditation status — both scoped into the schema, both blocked on a real source becoming available.

The honest version, not the marketing version

AISHE data vintage: 2021-22. India's higher-education census has a real, current 3-year publishing gap — 2022-23 through 2024-25 reports are not yet released by the government. We ship what's real and say so, rather than implying a refresh cadence we can't currently deliver.

No individual data, anywhere. Every table is institution-level. No student records, no teacher records — a school's Principal name, where it appears in a raw source, is deliberately never carried into any of our output.

Pricing

Real access, honestly scoped

Checkout is real and live. Only one paid tier exists today — no Monthly/Annual plan yet, since AISHE's real 2022-25 publishing gap (see the honesty box above) means we can't honestly promise a refresh cadence to bill against.
