Index (when and how to rebuild it)

Index should rebuild if blevel column in dba_indexes greater than 3 or you can query INDEX_STATS for lef_rows and del_lef_rows to know the percentage of deleted rows from the index. if the percentage is more than 20% but make sure to analyze index before check blevel column
using command
SQL> analyze index OWNER.INDEX_NAME validate structure;

Now check index from dba_indexes.

SQL> select blevel ,owner,index_name from dba_indexes where index_name='<INDEX_NAME>'
or
SQL>select height,lf_rows,del_lf_rows,(del_lf_rows/lf_rows)*100 as Percent_del_rows from index_stats;
Note that index_stats carry only one index and should execute this query after analyze index and in the same session as all info
recorded in your PGA.

Below script will help you to get all index that need rebuild for specific schema but first but your schema name in where condition.
