A Unique Opportunity in Indian Education
Every year, millions of Indian families search for the right school for their children — and many of them could use a knowledgeable guide. Whether it's a first-time parent overwhelmed by the choice of boards, or a family relocating to a new city and needing local school recommendations, there is real, concrete help to be offered — and PickMySchool has built a programme that rewards you for providing it.
The PickMySchool Freelancer Programme is India's first school admission referral network, and it's open to anyone with a network and a genuine interest in education.
What Is the PickMySchool Freelancer Programme?
The programme works simply:
- You register as a freelancer on PickMySchool (it's free to join)
- You refer families looking for schools to schools listed on PickMySchool
- When the family completes an admission through your referral, you earn a commission
- Your earnings are tracked transparently in your freelancer dashboard
- Payouts are processed to your bank account
No startup costs. No targets. No employment contract. Work at your own pace, in your own city, with your own network.
Who Is This For?
The programme is designed for anyone who regularly interacts with families making education decisions:
- Retired teachers or school administrators — Your knowledge of the school system is valuable; families trust your recommendation
- Education counsellors — Add a new income stream to your existing advisory work without any conflict of interest
- Stay-at-home parents — You already know which schools are good in your area; help other parents benefit from that knowledge
- College students studying education or social work — Build experience and earn income while still in college
- Community leaders, RWA members, or neighbourhood networkers — People trust local knowledge; monetise that trust responsibly
- Anyone working in HR or relocation services — Employees relocating cities often need school help for their children; you can be the connector
How Much Can You Earn?
Your earnings depend on:
- The school's admission fee (which varies by school tier and city)
- The commission percentage agreed with each school
- The number of successful referrals you make per month
Since PickMySchool lists schools across all fee brackets — from ₹20,000/year schools to ₹5 lakh/year schools — commission amounts per admission also vary. The more premium the school and the more referrals you make, the higher your monthly earnings.
The freelancer dashboard shows your total leads generated, conversion rate, and all pending and paid commissions — complete transparency, always.

Is This Different from a Regular Referral Programme?
Yes — in several important ways:
- School-focused: This isn't a generic affiliate programme. It's built specifically for the school admission context, with tools like school brochures, admission deadlines, fee details, and school comparisons all available to share with families.
- Transparent tracking: Every referral is tracked from first click through to admission. You can see exactly where each lead is in the process.
- No conflict of interest: You're helping families find the right school — not pushing them toward any single school. PickMySchool lists hundreds of schools; your role is to guide, not to sell.
- No equivalent in Indian edtech: Neither EzySchooling, SchoolMyKids, nor any other Indian school discovery platform offers a freelancer referral programme. This is unique to PickMySchool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the PickMySchool freelancer programme free to join?
Yes. There is no registration fee, no monthly subscription, and no minimum referral target. You only earn when a referral converts to an admission.
Do I need any formal education background to join?
No. Anyone with a genuine interest in helping families find schools and a network of parents or families can join. Formal education or counselling backgrounds are helpful but not required.
How are commissions paid?
Commissions are paid directly to your registered bank account once the school confirms the admission and processes your payment. Your dashboard shows full statement-of-account details.
Can I refer families to schools in any city in India?
Yes — PickMySchool lists schools across India, and you can refer families to schools in any city, not just your own.
Is there a limit to how many schools I can refer families to?
No. You can refer families to as many schools as they want to apply to. The more schools they apply to, the more chances of a successful admission — and a commission for you.
What happens if a family I refer doesn't get admitted?
You only earn when an admission is confirmed. If a family doesn't get admitted to a school, there's no commission for that referral — but the lead remains in your dashboard and you can help them find alternative schools.
