With an increase in instances of schools not giving admit cards to all those appearing for Board exams, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has come down heavily on schools. 

The Board said in a circular that it has found schools are not issuing admit cards on ground of performance of students in pre-board tests and are also charging fees for the issuance of the same.

In Gujarat, due to the school fee issue, some schools had withheld the admit cards of students who had not paid fees. The state education minister had clarified two days ago that schools cannot play with the future of a pupil.
The circular read: “Several instances of not issuing admit card by various CBSE affiliated schools on the ground of performance of students in the pre-board tests have come to the notice of CBSE. 

It is further noted that some schools are charging fee for release of admit card. This practice of withholding admit card has been viewed very seriously by the board. Rule 15 of the CBSE examination by-laws states: In no case the heads of affiliated schools shall detain eligible candidates from appearing at the examination.

“It is reiterated that holding of admit card to appear in practical theroy exam is violative of CBSE examinatin bye-laws. The schools wil not charge any fees for issue of admit card to the eligible candidate,” it read.
