Parents will have access to students’ details to request corrections if needed.

School Instructions for Student Registration


CBSE has asked schools to ensure data accuracy by holding meetings with teachers and informing parents and students about registration protocols. Schools should:


  • Register only bonafide students

  • Verify attendance and ensure students are not enrolled with other boards

  • Avoid abbreviations in names and follow the prescribed subject combinations

  • Upload photographs and signatures before final submission


Additional Key Guidelines


  • Schools must update student data on the OASIS and HPE portals before beginning the registration process.

  • Abbreviations in the names of students, parents, or teachers will not be accepted.

  • Subject combinations should strictly align with the scheme of studies prescribed by CBSE.

  • Information about parents’ annual income may be collected for scholarship purposes, but schools should not request income proof.

The Board has reiterated that affiliated schools must comply with its affiliation bye-laws, including student-teacher ratios and maximum section strength. Any violations such as registering students for unauthorised subjects may lead to disaffiliation.

Registrations will close at 11:59 PM on the designated dates. No extensions or post-submission corrections will be entertained, except for transfer-related changes.
