India: Add schools and colleges to the Map

7-mar-17-school-banner-1200x900.png

Exams in India are here, and Local Guides can help ensure that students and parents find their exam centres. Whether adding schools and colleges to the Map, uploading photos, or updating missing information like phone numbers, websites, and hours, you can help India’s students make any enquiries and plan their travel.

 

While improving the Map in your neighborhood is encouraged any time, you can most help these students by adding schools and colleges in your neighbourhood before 10 April 2017.

 

Tips for getting started:

How to add a place to Google Maps

To add Schools and Colleges, use the category “School” or “College” and add it as a distinct feature.

  • Update website
  • Update Phone number
  • Add opening/closing hours

How to edit a place on Google Maps

You can tell us if you see any wrong information about a place like:

  • It's permanently closed, moved, or it doesn't exist
  • Name is wrong (you can update it)
  • Address or marker location is wrong (you can update and move it)
  • Category is wrong (you can change it)
  • Information like phone number, website, or hours is incorrect or missing (you can fix it)

Hi @Sant-kumar,

 

Map Edits got rejected due to countless reasons.

 

If you can post the School that you are trying to add, with the exact inputs you entered into Maps, then LGs here can try to study why.

Hi @Sant-kumar, Please ensure to provide as much information when you add any place to Google Maps like the Name, Category, address or exact location and If you could also add Photos it would help in the place getting approved and going live on Google Maps. You could also help in publishing places around you faster by verifying information around you which are added to Google Maps by others. You can go to your contributions and verify edits made to Google Maps.
