Govt threatens CBSE schools with NOC withdrawal

Updated on: Thursday, June 23, 2011

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) schools which fail to submit details of students who have taken the board exam will lose out on their no-objection certificates, the state education department warned on Wednesday. It also threatened serious action against schools which allowed its students who had appeared for the school-based test to apply to junior colleges, adding admissions of such students will be cancelled.

A department official said, "We have already dispatched a circular which states principals of CBSE schools should approve admissions only of students who have taken the board exams. If students who have taken the school test are found to have applied, the schools would be held responsible. If such cases come to light later, the school's NOC could be withdrawn."

Since there is no difference in report cards of students who have taken the school-based test and the board exam, the education department has to rely completely on information provided by schools. Though the deputy director's office claims to have sent circulars instructing schools of the admission process, principals claim they are yet to receive it.
