INDORE: The Central Board of Secondary Education extended the deadline for the mandatory disclosure of school details till December 15. Earlier, more than 110 CBSE schools in Indore district were expected to submit the mandatory disclosure by November 30.

The association of unaided CBSE schools in the city had requested the CBSE to extend this deadline, after which it was extended till November 30. "Over 60 to 70% schools have submitted the details, but there are few schools that were not able to provide details due to the lack of documents and other reasons," said Jaydeb Kar, CBSE helpline member from the state.

"The board has accepted the request of such schools and extended the deadline. But after this, if schools can't submit details within the deadline, they will get a notice from the board," added Kar. "It is important that schools submit the details as per the deadline set by the board. I don't think it's correct on the part of schools to request the board to extend the deadline again and again. However, exceptions might be there with genuine reasons," said a school principal from the city.

The board had earlier issued an advisory to its affiliated schools, asking them to share the fee structure along with details of all the facilities they provide by or before October 31.

Under the mandatory disclosure, the CBSE has asked for an expansive list which includes infrastructural details
