Nagpur: CBSE has warned of affiliated schools against students who register illegally from other institutes for the council exam, malpractice which unfortunately continues even today.
The school whose affiliates have not been approved moved their students to other friendly CBSE institutions for a large amount of money.
In this way their students will emerge from the CBSE Board, even from different schools.
Because this saves the ‘academic future’ of students, parents don’t complain and because of the financial kickback even new schools take risks.
The Central Council frowned with this practice and repeatedly warned of such malpractice, but in reality it was impossible for CBSE to track every student in all affiliated schools.
The CBSE last week opened the online portal to submit a list of candidates (LOC) by the school, where the principal must mention all details of students listed on their rolls.
In official CBSE terminology, this is called ‘sponsoring students’.
Like in, the school sponsors their students for the exam done by CBSE.
But considering the malpractice spoiled by certain schools, CBSE is truly hidden at the point of sponsoring only true students.
The council circle which is usually a typical black and white drab record, CBSE continues to enter a colored description where the warning is clearly mentioned.
Sanyam Bhardwaj, the CBSE examination controller, wrote in a circle that “school must sponsor only their own candidates”.
He reminded the principal that it was their responsibility to ensure that students were not from schools that were not affiliated or illegal, they attended the class regularly and that they were not registered with other education councils.
The Board continues to quote bye-laws 2018 affiliates and provisions based on Part 14.2 which states that each school must send a LOC with the name of the student registered in STD IX-XII.
In contrast to popular perceptions, CBSE only deals with STD IX-XII and that is the reason their school only gets affiliates from STD IX and so on.
The schools found to indulge in such practices are responsible for dealing with disafiation.
A senior academic, who is currently retiring, told TII that it was almost impossible for CBSE to prove such cases.
“First of all, it is very difficult for CBSE to find out, unless someone from the school complains.
Secondly, prove it through documents is not easy, so Onus lies in the principal to avoid such legal issues,” said the teacher.
