Bhubaneswar, Odisha: EducationWorld India has ranked ODM Global School 5th in Bhubaneswar and Odisha in its India School Rankings 2026–27, Day-cum-Boarding School category, with the honours received on 22nd October 2026. For parents comparing the top 5 schools in Bhubaneswar, it highlights a school built on a simple idea: education works best when it draws ideas out of children rather than pouring answers in.

Dr Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, received the honours on behalf of the institution at an awards ceremony held at Hotel Pullman, New Delhi.

A Classroom That Starts With a Question

Walk into a lesson at ODM Global School and the teacher is as likely to begin with a problem as with a fact. Students find their own routes to an answer, and no two routes look quite alike. That habit of reasoning, rather than recalling, tends to follow them out of the classroom and into how they plan projects and settle disagreements.

In the science lab, reactions happen in front of them, not on a page. When a line of code refuses to run, they retrace their steps and fix it themselves.

From the Debate Floor to the TEDx Stage

Finding a voice is part of the school's everyday work. ODMMUN 2026 brought student delegates from across the ODM Educational Group together for two days of research, speeches and negotiation, built around the idea that diplomacy means listening as much as speaking.

On 22nd August 2026, the school hosted its first TEDx event, TEDx Global School Youth, where selected students delivered their own talks alongside accomplished speakers. Among the top 5 schools in Bhubaneswar, few hand students a stage like that.

What a Top-Five Rank Tells Parents

A rank is one view of a school, and a useful one. It says that, in the Day-cum-Boarding School category, ODM Global School stands among the leading schools in its city and state. What it cannot show is whether a child will feel confident enough to ask a question in class. For that, parents will want to visit and listen.

Voices From the Leadership

Speaking on behalf of the institution, Dr Satyabrata Minaketan, Chairman of ODM Educational Group, said,
"The real work of a school happens in moments no ranking can photograph: a child finding the courage to speak, or a teacher noticing quiet potential. We thank everyone behind those moments."

Reflecting on the recognition, Mr Swoyan Satyendu, CEO of ODM Educational Group, said,
"A top-five rank is a welcome milestone. It motivates us to keep giving students stages, whether a committee room or a TEDx platform, where their ideas genuinely matter."

Giving Every Voice a Stage

As the world rewards people who can think clearly and communicate well, schools that teach both are preparing students for more than examinations. ODM Global School's rank reflects its place in a competitive city, and its larger aim is to keep building classrooms where curiosity and confidence grow together.
