Hack of the day: Check CBSE affiliation before paying admission fees

Before paying hefty admission fees , parents must ensure that the school they choose is genuinely affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education . Many institutions claim CBSE recognition without proof, leaving families vulnerable to fraud and children at risk of invalid admissions. The CBSE’s official SARAS portal provides a simple way to verify affiliation details, including the school’s status, class levels, and authorization to conduct board examinations. With affiliation records updated regularly, checking the latest SARAS entry is the most reliable safeguard against misleading claims and ensures a secure academic future for students.
