CBSE Conducts Surprise Inspections Across 5 States And A Union Territory

Delhi, January 16, 2025 – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted a series of surprise inspections in 29 schools across multiple locations on December 18 and 19, 2024. The inspections were carried out in schools in Delhi on December 18 and in Bengaluru (Karnataka), Patna (Bihar), Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh), and Ahmedabad (Gujarat) on December 19, 2024.

Upon careful examination of the reports submitted by the inspection teams, it was observed that a majority of these schools had violated CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws. Key violations identified include:

• Enrollment Irregularities: Instances of enrolling students beyond their actual attendance records, effectively endorsing “non-attending” enrolments.
• Non-compliance with Academic and Infrastructural Norms: Flouting CBSE guidelines for academic and infrastructural standards.

CBSE has taken serious note of these violations and has issued show-cause notices to all 29 schools involved. Each school has been provided with a copy of the respective inspection report and has been directed to submit their replies within 30 days.

CBSE remains steadfast in its commitment to upholding the highest standards of education and will continue to take stringent measures against any violations of its regulations.
