DBSE gets approval for exams, certification and affiliation

Delhi Board of School Education has received approval from top bodies for examination, certification and equivalence with other recognized boards.

Delhi Board of School Education (DBSE) has received an approval for examination, certification and equivalence with other recognised boards. The move will enable students from DBSE affiliated schools to take admission in other boards and the certificate will be valid for admission in higher education institutions. According to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, "Collaboration with International Baccalaureate (IB) opens world-class opportunities for our children. With approvals from COBSE and AIU, the DBSE is all set to transform learning assessment."

After receiving these approvals, students passing out of DBSE schools will have universal recognition and acceptance, same as the certificates issued by the CBSE, CISCE and other recognised Boards. The mark sheets and certificates issued by DBSE will be accepted by all the recognized Boards and Indian Universities. For the current academic year, 30 schools are affiliated with the DBSE. In the next few years, all the government schools of Delhi will be affiliated with the DBSE which has started functioning in partnership with IB. Besides, the recognised private schools in the city too will have the option of affiliating themselves with the Delhi Board.

According to the letter issued by the Council of Boards of School Education in India (COBSE) which is responsible for verifying the recognition of school education boards in India, "On the grant of COBSE membership to Delhi Board of School Education, Secondary and Higher Secondary Examinations conducted and certificates issued by it would have equivalence to the corresponding certificates of other member-boards of COBSE." Earlier, the Governing Council of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU), an inter-university organisation that acts as a representative of universities in India, approved the proposal of DBSE and resolved to "give equivalence to Delhi Board of School Education, Delhi, with CBSE and other recognised Boards of India".
