The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has taken stringent action against schools found engaging in malpractices, disaffiliating 20 and downgrading three across the country. According to CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta, this move comes after surprise inspections revealed discrepancies in adherence to affiliation and examination norms.
Among the affected schools, five are located in Delhi, while others are spread across Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Jammu and Kashmir, Dehradun, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh. Additionally, schools in Delhi, Punjab, and Assam have faced affiliation downgrades.
"Pursuant to the surprise inspection in CBSE schools across the country to check whether the schools are running as per the provisions and norms contained in Affiliation and Examination Bye-laws, it was found that some schools were committing various malpractices of presenting dummy students, ineligible candidates and not maintained records properly. After thorough inquiry, it has been decided to disaffiliate and downgrade the following schools," the notification stated.
