CBSE Revises Affiliation Bye-Laws, Caps Section Strength, Updates Infrastructure Norms
CBSE has capped school sections based on built-up area and updated infrastructure norms to curb overcrowding and align with NEP 2020 implementation. In a major move aimed at addressing overcrowding and ensuring quality education, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has revised its affiliation bye-laws, capping the number of sections a school can run based on its built-up area. The changes, effective immediately, are applicable to all existing and newly affiliated schools under the Board. The amendments, outlined in a circular dated July 31, 2025, have been made to Appendix-V under Chapter 3 of the CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws-2018. The Board cited concerns over the increasing number of students per school section and the resulting strain on infrastructure, learning spaces, and students' well-being. The revised guidelines aim to curb overcrowding in schools, noting that students often spend long hours in cramped classrooms with limited access to open spaces or extracurricular facilities. 'This is leading to inhibition in the organic growth of schools and implementation of NEP 2020," the circular stated. Key Highlights of the New Guidelines: The Board said the changes are based on feedback from stakeholders and a review committee that studied implementation issues of the existing bye-laws. The committee's recommendations were ratified by CBSE's Governing Body in May 2025. The notification further clarifies that these amendments will not apply to foreign schools affiliated with CBSE or schools offering regular category affiliation. view comments First Published: July 31, 2025, 16:18 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
