Overview

• CBSE issued a new circular dated September 2 directing affiliated schools to ensure 100% accuracy of student names, parents’ names and dates of birth in official records.
• The board says schools have nearly 20 checkpoints to validate data, from admission and Class IX registration to LOC submission, admit cards and mark sheets.
• Written assurance from parents at admission is now required, and schools must keep accurate admission forms, scholar registers, withdrawal registers and transfer certificates.
• Correction requests must be routed through schools with certified records from previous institutions, with CBSE warning that incomplete or unclear documentation will be summarily rejected.
• Students have been advised not to approach CBSE directly or via legal notices or courts for demographic changes, as such routes cause delays without school-verified records.
