CBSE directs schools to apply for section increase by December 31

The CBSE-affiliated schools can apply through the School Affiliation Re-Engineered Automation System (SARAS) portal until December 31, 2022.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in its latest notification has asked schools that have lesser sections due to land availability to apply for more sections in order to avoid issues while filling out the list of candidates (LOC) and other related activities. According to the notice, the CBSE-affiliated schools can apply through the School Affiliation Re-Engineered Automation System (SARAS) portal until December 31, 2022. The Board has taken this decision to avoid any last-minute hassle while filling in the student details.

The CBSE official notice reads, “As the schools while filling the student details at the time of registration candidates in classes IX, X, XI and XII had faced difficulties. Thus in order to overcome this issue, the schools can apply se upto 31.12.2022”.

Schools affiliated to CBSE are expected to run the number of sections within the authorised number of sections based on the amount of land available to the school. However, it has been found that while some schools have more land, the number of sections run by them is lesser in comparison to the amount of area accessible to the school.

These schools may require more sections as the number of students increases over time. With the current number of sections, these schools may have difficulty submitting the LOCs. This may cause further difficulties for both the schools and the candidates.
