CBSE to schools: Close class 9, 11 admissions by August 15 or pay fine

The new rules, which have been criticised by the school principals and parents alike, also ask students who are shifting schools in class 9 and 11 to provide the relevant proof. For instance, if a student is shifting from a school in pursuit of better education, they will have to provide the result of past five years of the previous school as well as the one the student is aspiring for.

Schools have to provide a list of admissions to regional offices, which will scrutinise the documents and send back the admission form in case of any discrepancy. The schools will then be given a period of seven days to fulfill any deficiency. The last date for approvals is December 15, as per the latest circular.
