CBSE chief clears air on admission to other boards

Chairman of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Vineet Joshi has said the Board will write to all other boards in the country for “smooth” admission of its students to schools under their jurisdiction.

Speaking at an interactive session with heads of various CBSE schools in Kolkata on Wednesday, Joshi said like other institutions CBSE will also accept students of other boards. He said the purpose of the changes, which the CBSE is taking, is not to make watertight compartments.

Principals of various schools had raised the issue of transfer of students from one board to other.

The CBSE chairman said the Board has started discussion with parents across the country on the new changes it is embarking upon and he is keen to have such a discussion in Kolkata, too.

From the coming academic year, the CBSE would not have a Board examination for Class X students. This was the first interaction of the chairman with the heads of schools since the CBSE came up with optional board examination. West Bengal has around 130 schools affiliated to CBSE, including Kendriya Vidyalayas.link
