How the Directory Works
Understand how institution records are collected, reviewed, and published — and how to get the most out of Shiksha Link.
Using the Directory
Three ways to find the institution you're looking for.
Search by Name
Use the search bar on the homepage or the Search page to find an institution by its name. Type a partial name and browse the results.
Browse by Type
Go to Institution Types to see all categories — schools, colleges, universities, training centers, and more. Each type page lists all published institutions in that category.
Browse by Location
Use the geographic hierarchy: Provinces → Districts → Local Governments. Each location page shows all institutions in that area. This is useful for finding schools near a specific municipality.
How Institution Records Work
Every published institution goes through a structured review workflow.
-
01
📝 Record Created as Draft
Staff enter institution details — name, type, location, contact — into the system. At this stage the record is a private draft. Incomplete fields (such as registration numbers or websites) are allowed.
-
02
📤 Submitted for Review
Once a draft is ready, it is submitted for review. Status changes to Pending. The record is still not visible to the public at this point.
-
03
✅ Reviewed & Approved
An administrator reviews the pending record. If the information meets publication standards, it is approved and published. Approval by the directory does not constitute accreditation.
-
04
❌ Rejected Records Stay Private
If a record fails review (incorrect data, duplicate entry, etc.) it is rejected. Rejected records remain private and may be corrected and re-submitted.
-
05
🗄️ Archiving
Published records that become outdated or if an institution closes can be archived. Archived records are removed from public search results but kept for historical reference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Shiksha Link and how to use it.
Is Shiksha Link an official government website?
No. Shiksha Link is an independent, non-commercial directory. It is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal, the Ministry of Education, or any school or university. Geographic data is sourced from the National Statistics Office, but the site itself has no official status.
How do I know an institution listing is accurate?
All published records have been reviewed by our team before publication. However, institution details can change. Always verify critical information (fees, programs, contact) directly with the institution.
My school/college is missing from the directory. What should I do?
Contact us via the Contact page. Provide the institution name, type, location (province, district, municipality), and any other relevant details. Our team will review and add it.
Can I report incorrect information?
Yes — please use the Contact page to report errors. Describe the institution and what information is wrong. We will investigate and update or correct the record.
Which province names are shown?
The directory shows the current names: Koshi, Madhesh, Bagmati, Gandaki, Lumbini, Karnali, and Sudurpashchim. The National Statistics Office code file still labels them State 1 through State 7, and those codes remain on the records.
Is this site free to use?
Yes. Shiksha Link is completely free. No registration is required to search or browse institution records.
