The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) recently implemented a disaffiliation drive, disaffiliating 21 schools across Delhi and Rajasthan, while downgrading six other institutions in Delhi from Senior Secondary to Secondary level.
This sweeping action comes in the wake of surprise inspections conducted on September 3, aimed at curbing the rise of “dummy admissions” and reinforcing compliance with CBSE’s strict Affiliation and Examination Bye-Laws, particularly with regard to student attendance.This disaffiliation update has become a significant topic in education news, highlighting CBSE’s commitment to maintaining educational integrity.
Reasons Behind the Disaffiliation Action
The recent disaffiliation and downgrading actions are primarily due to the discovery of widespread attendance violations. During inspections, CBSE officials found multiple schools with significant numbers of “dummy” or non-attending students, especially in Classes 9 to 12.
According to CBSE, this compromises the educational integrity and core mission of affiliated schools, which is to ensure holistic development and authentic learning experiences for all students.

Downgrading of Schools in Delhi
In addition to the disaffiliation orders, six schools in Delhi have been downgraded to the Secondary level as a further measure to curb attendance violations and discourage dummy admissions. The downgraded schools include:
- Adarsh Jain Dharmic Shiksha Sadan, Najafgarh, New Delhi

The downgrade from Senior Secondary to Secondary level serves as a warning and an opportunity for these schools to rectify attendance irregularities and maintain alignment with CBSE’s affiliation standards.
CBSE’s Message on Maintaining Educational Integrity Through Disaffiliation
CBSE’s recent disaffiliation actions and downgrades reflect the board’s commitment to ensuring that affiliated schools adhere to ethical practices. By enforcing these disaffiliations, CBSE aims to prevent institutions from circumventing attendance requirements through dummy admissions. These practices, CBSE asserts, detract from meaningful learning and disrupt the foundational growth of students.
The board’s disaffiliation orders emphasize the importance of lawful and ethical education, sending a clear message to all affiliated institutions. CBSE believes that disaffiliating schools with attendance violations will reinforce the educational integrity of the board and uphold the trust of students, parents, and communities in CBSE-affiliated institutions.
Moving Forward: The Role of Disaffiliation in Strengthening Education Standards
CBSE’s stance on disaffiliation underscores its mission to maintain high standards in education across the country. Schools found non-compliant with critical regulations face immediate disaffiliation, signaling the board’s zero-tolerance approach to attendance violations and dummy admissions.
Through these strict measures, CBSE hopes to foster a learning environment that prioritizes genuine engagement, ethical practices, and authentic educational outcomes.
By enforcing these disaffiliation and downgrading actions, CBSE is committed to upholding its core educational values across all affiliated institutions.
