Fake education boards are popping up to dupe people and make money. Be warned!

Last week, the Delhi government reminded parents and students that the city only had three relevant education boards operating in it; the others were fake.

A week earlier, the Directorate of Education (DoE) had announced the name of 12 fake boards operating in the national capital in a public list.

"No board with the name of Board of Adult Education and Training is recognised by the directorate," a DoE order said on May 11.

As far as Delhi is concerned, there are only three relevant boards -- Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE) and National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). - a Directorate of Education order said

Fake education boards declared by DOE:

Urdu Education Board Gramin Mukth Vidhalyai Shiksha Sansthan Delhi Board of Secondary Education The Central Board of Higher Secondary Education National Open School Board of Secondary Open Education, Delhi Higher Secondary Education Board of Delhi, State Council of Senior Secondary Open Education Delhi Board of Senior Secondary Education Board of Higher Secondary Education, Delhi Council of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education, Delhi The Central Board of Higher Education, Delhi

Here are the points parents and students need to remember about Delhi education boards, as per the statements of DOE:

There are just three legit education boards operating in Delhi - CBSE, ICSE, and NIOS

There is no state board of the government of Delhi

The DoE regulates government, private, unaided and aided schools in Delhi, but does not grant any recognition to any board
