While planning to open a new school, it is necessary to be aware of the formalities and procedures involved in the procedure of application.

Here we have mentioned a few steps for school boards to follow in order to obtain CBSE affiliation:

How CBSE Outshines other boards in India?

As there are plenty of choices for the syllabus, we need to get a thorough understanding of the prominence of the CBSE syllabus. Here are a points to check how CBSE outperforms others:

• The main benefit lies in the structuring of academic modules. It is not as difficult as ICSE or IGCSE, but has all the important sections covered effectively.
• The CBSE system ensures a hassle-free migration for its students.
• The CBSE system focuses on holistic development of its students.
• The thoughtful exam patterns of the CBSE system are nothing short of remarkable.
• Learning the CBSE syllabus is a good foundational stone for competitive examinations.
• CBSE follows a rational grading system which is good for the future of students.
• The CBSE system has country-wide recognition as well as international recognition.

Why a CBSE school?

We focus on starting a CBSE school in India, because CBSE maintains uniformity among all students across India. A certificate from the Central Board of Secondary Education is recognised throughout the country, in all colleges and academic centers.

The CBSE board is affiliated with over 17000 schools worldwide, hence the curriculum is applied uniformly everywhere. Moreover, the curriculum is extensive and varied, with a focus on the complete development of the students.

The Procedure

To start a CBSE school, the school board must acquire a 'Memorandum of Association' from the educational trust. The land for establishing a school may be purchased or leased. If the school promoters already possess the land, they must get it approved for educational use by the municipal and the education departments of the concerned state.

The steps to start or open a CBSE School in India have been outlined below-

• The first step is the formation of a Society / Trust / Company Under Section-8.
• Then follows the procurement of land and change of land use.
• Next comes Architectural Planning as per the Board Norms which is followed by setting the infrastructure, recruitment, and marketing aspects.
• And finally comes the important phase of Affiliation / Recognition from the State Education Board.

The Affiliation Part

The School has to be affiliated with the respective State Board. It doesn't matter if it is affiliated with CBSE / ICSE or IB Board. Education is a state subject, hence can have any affiliation but State Board Affiliation / Permission is mandatory at the initial phase.

To move ahead, the schools must apply for recognition from the state government. They must go to the District Education Officer aka DEO and register their school followed by an inspection. After the inspection of the school premises and taking relevant information, a required certification is provided to the society.

The minimum land space required for a school to get CBSE Affiliation is 8000 square meters. A school with 6000 square meters may also be granted affiliation if the restriction of ideal enrollment & number of sections is fulfilled. There are mainly three affiliations provided by the CBSE . They are: Provisional, Temporary and Permanent.

What do you Gain by CBSE Affiliation?

When a School gets affiliated with CBSE, the school receives the status of “Provisionally Affiliated School”. This is supposed to be extended after a period of three years and after that when the school applies for an extension of Affiliation and receives the same, it has to again go for an extension after a period of 5 years.

Since the board is governed by the Indian Central Government which gives the assurance of high-quality education, the CBSE Affiliation helps private and independent schools gain public trust.. This makes the entire syllabus structured and uniform and also lays a strong foundation for students aspiring for competitive exams.

The schools affiliated with CBSE offer students the f
reedom to pursue their field of interest in every stage of their school life.

The Closure

Schools may apply for the Preponement of the session by logging in and paying the fees online. In case of any disputes, the courts and tribunals in Delhi have the exclusive right to deal with it. All applicant schools are required to read and agree to the affiliation by-laws of CBSE.

The most important benefit of CBSE affiliated schools is the recognition it holds in the country.
