The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a strict warning to students. Students who do not attend regular classes will not be allowed to appear for the Class 12 board exams. Also, strict action will be taken against schools that encourage the system of dummy schools or nominate absent students for the exams.
The CBSE is considering changing its examination regulations. According to the new rules, students from dummy schools will not be allowed to appear for the board exams. Such students will have to appear for the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) exams. If a student is found absent during the inspection or does not attend regular classes, he will be prevented from appearing for the board exams, a CBSE official said.
Some important decisions have been taken in the CBSE Governing Board meeting. Accordingly, from the academic year 2025-26, at least 75 percent attendance in class will be mandatory for students. As per CBSE rules, no student will be eligible for the board examination by simply registering. A minimum of 75 per cent attendance will be mandatory for him, a CBSE official said.
Students who are not eligible as per the CBSE attendance policy can appear for the board examination through NIOS examination. A relaxation of up to 25 per cent in attendance will be given only for medical treatment, participation in national and international sports and other serious reasons.
