How Thane’s centres are spread
- Mumbra and Kausa have the biggest cluster: 7 of the 18 school-type listings.
- Kalyan and Ulhasnagar have 3, Thane West 3, Navi Mumbai (Nerul and Koparkhairane) 2, Bhiwandi 2 and Bhayander 1.
- All 4 Urdu-medium listings are in Mumbra and Bhiwandi.
- Both Marathi-medium listings are Class 10 only.
- The 6 ITI-linked listings are in Thane, Belapur (Navi Mumbai), Ambarnath, Bhiwandi and Shahapur talukas. In Shahapur, the ITI-linked listing is the only one; Murbad taluka has none at all.
- Only 3 of the 24 listings show a renewal date that is still current, which is one more reason to check before you choose.
Navi Mumbai is split between Thane and Raigad districts. If you live on the Panvel or Kharghar side, you are in Raigad, which has its own row on the Maharashtra page.
