CBSE conducts physical or online inspections of schools at various stages — new affiliation, upgradation, extension, and random compliance checks.
Conducted before granting fresh provisional affiliation. CBSE inspectors visit to verify infrastructure, staff, and documents physically.
When a school applies to upgrade from middle to secondary, or secondary to senior secondary, an inspection verifies new requirements.
CBSE may conduct surprise or scheduled inspections of any affiliated school to verify ongoing compliance with bye-laws.
Triggered by complaints, anomalies in OASIS data, or parent/student grievances filed with CBSE about a school.
CBSE publishes annual School Performance Report Cards showing pass percentages, subject-wise results, and academic quality indicators for all affiliated schools.
| Grade | Pass % Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A+ (Outstanding) | 95%–100% | Top performing school |
| A (Excellent) | 90%–94.99% | Above national average |
| B+ (Very Good) | 80%–89.99% | Good performance |
| B (Good) | 70%–79.99% | Average performance |
| C (Satisfactory) | 60%–69.99% | Below average |
| D (Needs Improvement) | Below 60% | CBSE may issue advisory |
*Grading is indicative and CBSE's actual report card format may vary.
CBSE has the authority to take action against schools that violate affiliation bye-laws, fail compliance, or engage in misconduct as per Chapter 8 of Affiliation Bye-Laws 2018.
Issued for minor violations — OASIS data not updated, minor infrastructure deficiency, or delayed fee payment.
School is asked to explain non-compliance within 15–30 days. Failure to respond leads to escalated action.
CBSE can stop a school from registering students for board exams (LOC blocked) until compliance is achieved.
Results of students of a school may be withheld if serious fraud, malpractice or infrastructure violation is found.
Senior Secondary school may be downgraded to Secondary if Classes 11–12 infrastructure or teacher norms are not met.
Permanent cancellation for repeated or severe violations. Existing students must be accommodated in other CBSE schools.
