According to its secretary Himanshu Gupta, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has disaffiliated 20 schools, five of which are in Delhi, for accepting dummy pupils and unfit applicants.
Three schools’ affiliation has also been downgraded by the board.
“Pursuant to the surprise inspection conducted in CBSE schools across the country to check whether the schools are running as per the provisions and norms contained in affiliation and examination bye-laws, it was found that some schools were committing various malpractices of presenting dummy students, ineligible candidates and not maintained records properly,” Gupta said.
“After thorough inquiry, it has been decided to disaffiliate 20 schools and downgrade three schools,” he added.
Delhi has five disaffiliated schools, Uttar Pradesh has three, Kerala, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Maharashtra have two, and Jammu and Kashmir, Dehradun, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh have one each.
The schools in Delhi, Punjab, and Assam have had their affiliation downgraded.
