The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted a series of surprise inspections in 29 schools in Delhi, Bengaluru, Varanasi, Bihar, Gujarat and Chhattisgarh to check enrollment of ‘dummy’ students, officials said on Thursday.
According to CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta, a total of 29 teams conducted the inspection, which included a CBSE official and the principal of an affiliated school. “Most of the schools inspected were found to have violated the Board’s affiliation bylaws by enrolling students beyond their actual attendance records, effectively creating ‘non-attendance’ enrolments. Additionally, the schools were found to be violating infrastructure norms of the board,” Gupta said.
“CBSE has taken these violations seriously and is in the process of issuing show cause notices to schools violating the rules. The board is also considering legal action against the erring institutions.”
The inspection was conducted on Wednesday and Thursday.
Eighteen of the violating schools are in the national capital, while three are in Varanasi, two each in Bengaluru, Patna, Ahmedabad, Bilaspur and Chhattisgarh. Crores of students preparing for engineering and medical entrance exams prefer to take admission in dummy schools so that they can completely focus on preparing for competitive exams. They do not attend classes and directly appear for the board exams.
Keeping in mind the quota available in medical and engineering institutes for students of some states, candidates also select dummy schools. For example, candidates who have completed classes 11 and 12 in Delhi are considered for admission to medical colleges in the national capital under the Delhi state quota.
