New Delhi, Aug 6: The Central Board of Secondary Education has warned schools to strictly adhere to the 75 per cent attendance requirement for students appearing for board exams.
According to the CBSE Examination Bye Laws, a minimum of 75 per cent attendance is mandatory for students to be eligible to appear for the board examinations.
The CBSE offers a 25 per cent relaxation only in cases of exigencies such as medical emergencies, participation in national or international sports events, and other serious reasons, if supported by the necessary documents or record.
The board has directed that schools must regularly monitor and maintain correct attendance records. Attendance registers should be updated daily, signed by the class teacher and the competent authority of the school and be readily available for inspection by the CBSE.
The Board may conduct surprise inspections to verify student attendance records & added that if during such inspections, if it is found that the records are incomplete or students have not been attending the school regularly, the school may face strict action, including disaffiliation & the students may be disqualified from appearing in the board exams.
