Foreign board students no longer need prior approval to join CBSE schools

Students from foreign boards seeking admission to CBSE schools will no longer require prior approval, the board announced on Thursday.

The move comes following an increase in the number of students applying for approval as many families have been shifting from abroad post the Covid pandemic due to various reasons, a Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) official said.

In the post period of corona pandemic, many families are shifting to India because of various reasons. Therefore, many students studying abroad in foreign boards are joining schools affiliated to the CBSE, CBSE Controller of Examination Sanyam Bhardwaj said.
