CBSE Board Exams 2018: Board advises schools on the issuance of admit cards

Ahead of the CBSE Board Exams 2018 scheduled to begin from March 5, the board has given a stern warning to the schools on the issuance of admit cards. CBSE, in a notification released on Friday, February 23, 2018, CBSE has made it clear that schools can’t withhold the admit cards of the students who are set to appear for the board exams on any pretext. The step comes after the Board received reports of schools not issuing the admit cards to the students who ill performed in their pre-boards. The Board also found that several schools are charging fees to issue the admit cards. Miffed with the developments, the Board has ordered the schools to strictly comply with the rules outlaid by the Board.

CBSE has warned the schools saying that if any student isn’t allowed to give the practical or theory papers due to the non-issuance of admit card, then it will be seen as a violation of the Board’s order. The notification added that in no case can the heads of the affiliated schools detain eligible candidates from appearing in the examinations according to the Rule 15 of Examination Bye-Laws. Explaining the motive behind the move, CBSE said that the Board issues admit cards to only the students who are sponsored by the schools. Thus, the schools have no right to block admit card of any students whom they have already finalised.

It is worth mentioning here that the Board has already released the admit cards for class 10th and 12th students along with the datesheets. Here’s the process to download the admit card:-
