In India, CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) is the education board with the highest reputation. People place a great amount of trust in the schools that are CBSE affiliated. For private and unaided schools, it aids in winning the trust of the people, as the board is under the Central Government of India and signifies quality education.

Getting CBSE affiliation is no easy task and calls for multiple compliances and proper understanding of the requisites laid down by the CBSE. The process of obtaining affiliation is cumbersome and involves various procedures, requirements and documentations pertaining to various aspects of a school. RGF will take care of the whole process making it easier for our clients to reduce their efforts on this which could further be utilized to take care of other pressing matters simultaneously.

The stages of CBSE Affiliation process

Area to building a School
  • A school normally requires construction in phases
  • Phase 1: 20,000 sq ft to 25,000 sq ft construction – Year 1
  • Phase 2: 12,000 sqft- 15,000 sq ft – year 3
  • Phase 3: 6,000 sqft – 10,000 sq ft – Year 4

You multiply these numbers with Rs 1000 – 1,400 per sq feet and this will give you a ballpark costing of construction plus furniture. Over and above this you can spend on Marketing, Landscaping, Sports Facilities etc. That is completely dependent on the promoter’s vision.

State Board Affiliation

A School has to have an affiliation from the State Board. It doesn’t matter if it is eventually affiliated to CBSE / ICSE or IB Board. Education is a state subject, hence they can have any affiliation but State Board Affiliation / Permission is mandatory.

Register/ Lease the Plot of Land

The Land on which the school will be built has to be either leased out or should be in the name of the society or the trust. The documents should be certified by the local land registration office. school inside the city limits the minimum area should be One Acre and outside the city limits should be 1.5 Acres.The land should all be at one place and in one piece with a pucca boundary wall on all the sides.

GET THE STATE BOARD AFFILIATION –

Once the building and the staff is ready, open admissions. Simultaneously go to the local education office in most cases DEO (District Education Office) and register by paying the fee. Post inspection of the school premises and after taking the relevant information they will provide the society/trust with required certification.
