DAIS ranks 9th in IBDP’s top 10 schools: What we know

A post on social media said: “We are proud to share that based on the IB Diploma Program 2026 results and global rankings published by Education Advisers UK, DAIS has been ranked 9th among IBDP schools worldwide – the only school from India to appear in the global Top 10. With an average score of 40.8 points, DAIS class 26 achieved an all-time best result out of the top 20 schools.”

In addition, DAIS has the largest IBDP cohort among the top 10 schools in the world with a total of 105 students, underscoring its ability to deliver results across a relatively large cohort rather than a small pool of candidates.
