How to Get CBSE Affiliation For a School – The Ultimate Roadmap
With respect to the present trends in Indian education, to which board should a new school project be affiliated?
1. CBSE’s synchronization of its syllabus with competitive examinations explains why most students switch from other boards to CBSE. CBSE students’ advantage over all other boards is the synchronization of the syllabus. All entrance examinations at the school level prescribe the CBSE syllabus as their syllabus. The same syllabus is used both in school and during coaching for entrance preparation.
2. CBSE schools are increasingly in demand due to the widespread awareness among parents that CBSE provides a higher standard of education and better textbooks developed by NCERT than state boards.
3. As CBSE is a progressive board, we strongly recommend CBSE schools over other boards. Out of 41 boards in the country, this is an experimental board for the MHRD. CBSE Affiliated Schools are the first to test all new policies, schemes, and educational innovations.
4. The Ministry of Human Resource Development intends to synchronize or merge all boards with the CBSE board eventually. Other popular boards include CISCE (Council for Indian School Certificate Examination) and International Curriculum Schools (IGCSE and IB).

How long does it take to become CBSE affiliated?
According to CBSE’s recent practice, the first response is usually sent within 60-90 days after 31st March in the form of an inspection or deficiency committee. The inspection of the school premises by a CBSE inspection committee takes 30-45 days from the date of intimation of the letter. For affiliations to be granted, it takes 45-60 days from the date of inspection. Based on typical processing and assuming all CBSE requirements are met, the timelines above are indicative. The affiliation process can take up to one year for cases that have a major to minor deficiency.
