A few representative schools: Hyderabad Public School: syllabus - at Begumpet. Apart from a 75 year old tradition this school has excellent facilities and teaching staff. Difficult to get admission. Some other well known schools are All Saints', Little Flower, St.Ann's, St. Mary's.There are several new schools which boast of all modern facilities.

Higher education: Osmania University, Central University, JN Technological University are reputed universities based at Hyderabad.

Engineering and Medicine: For professional courses, an entrance test called EAMCET has to be taken.Seats all over the state are allotted on the basis of the results. There is a quota for candidates hailing from other states.Competition is fierce.

Post graduate courses in computers like MCA are also very popular and also require an entrance exam. Recently some newer MSc courses have been started. It appears most institiutes of repute in this city are oriented towards courses in Computers, and some are very reputed. The Indian Institute of Information Technology in a sprawling campus is similar to the IITs. A large Business school of global standards also is coming up in Hyderabad. (See www.iit.net for details).

There are a huge number of institutes in the non formal but organised sector which teach various IT subjects. Students here flock to institutes on the strength of the teacher, not the name of the institute.
