It has also been highlighted that the defaulter school failing to comply will not be able to register their candidates for Board Examinations and the responsibility would lie with school management. However, the impacted personnel are the students and the parents in the event of such failure.

If you are seeking admission for your child to a CBSE school, then such cheat sheet can be very helpful and if you do not find one for any school, you should request the management about the same. If you are already a school parent, then your child’s school compliant? If not, then please urge the school management to comply with the same.
