The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has set a firm deadline of October 16 for schools to submit registration data for Class 9 and Class 11 students. Schools must provide accurate details, including student names, subjects, and other essential information. This ensures smooth academic progression and prevents future administrative problems for students and institutions.
Accurate Data Submission Critical
CBSE has repeatedly emphasized the critical need for precision in student data collection for Class 9 and 11 registrations. An official notice warns against potential problems from incorrect submissions. These issues can include record discrepancies and difficulties with future board exam registrations or certificate issuance.
The board works to ensure every student’s registered data is correct. Schools share equal responsibility. Diligent data entry prevents future complications for students’ academic journeys and reduces administrative burdens. Errors can cause delays in documentation, incorrect exam entries, and other serious issues.
Mandatory APAAR ID Linking
CBSE has made the Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry (APAAR) ID mandatory for all students. This unique digital ID must link with student records during registration. APAAR aims to create a standardized, lifelong academic record for every student, streamlining educational data management.
Schools must facilitate obtaining APAAR IDs for all students from Class 9 to 12. IDs must be available and linked before registration concludes and the List of Candidates (LOC) is submitted. APAAR ID integration digitalizes academic credentials and simplifies student identity verification.
Revised Examination and Registration Fees
CBSE has also announced revisions to various examination and registration fees. These updated structures apply to students appearing for board exams and those undertaking new registrations for Classes 9 and 11.
Detailed Fee Adjustments
The fee structure reflects a general increase. The board adjusted charges for examination subjects and practical components, alongside standard registration fees.
| Fee Category (India) | Increase Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Board Exam Registration (Per Subject) | + ₹20 | Approximately a 6.66% hike. |
| Practical Exam Fee (Per Subject) | + ₹10 | Applies to subjects with practical components. |
| Class 9 & 11 Registration Fee | + ₹20 | Applies to new registrations in these classes. |
Specifically, the registration fee for each board exam subject has increased by ₹20 in India. This marks an approximate 6.66% rise. Practical exam fees have also risen by ₹10 per subject. The base registration fee for Class 9 and Class 11 students has increased by ₹20 within India.
Compliance and Next Steps
Strict adherence to these updated guidelines is mandatory. Schools must ensure complete and accurate submission of all student registration data, including mandatory APAAR ID linking, by the October 16 deadline . All revised fees must also be paid. Failure to comply can lead to registration discrepancies, financial penalties, or student eligibility issues for future examinations.
