Best Schools in Preet Vihar, Delhi 2026-27

Preet Vihar is an established residential and commercial colony in East Delhi, strung along Vikas Marg near Nirman Vihar and Karkardooma, and its schools are mostly mid-tier CBSE schools — anchored by long-running names like Hillwoods Academy and Universal Public School — spread across the colony and the adjoining Nirman Vihar blocks.

On the Blue Line of the Delhi Metro and a short hop from Laxmi Nagar and Anand Vihar, Preet Vihar is one of East Delhi's better-connected pockets, which keeps it a practical schooling base for families across the eastern corridor.

Where Preet Vihar's schools are

Preet Vihar's schools sit across the colony's residential blocks and the neighbouring Nirman Vihar, with several along or just off Vikas Marg — the commercial spine that runs through the area. Because Preet Vihar blends into Nirman Vihar, Swasthya Vihar and Laxmi Nagar, families here often compare schools just across those boundaries too. The Preet Vihar and Nirman Vihar metro stations frame the neighbourhood, keeping most schools within a short reach of the Blue Line.
