The inspections aimed to assess compliance with CBSE norms and affiliation bylaws. A majority of the inspected schools were found violating the board’s regulations, including infrastructural norms, and admitting students beyond their recorded attendance capacity.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the board reiterated its commitment to maintaining high educational standards and ensuring strict adherence to its guidelines.

“These inspections represent a significant step in the Board’s ongoing efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and compliance among all affiliated schools,” the CBSE stated.

Last month, CBSE withdrew affiliation of 21 schools owing to significant numbers of non-attending students from classes 9th-12th. It also downgraded six schools from senior secondary to secondary level. The action was based on a series of surprise inspections conducted across 27 schools in Rajasthan and Delhi on 3 September 2024.
