The Central Board of Secondary Education has permitted affiliated schools to conduct admission of students studied from foreign boards without any prior approval.

The Board has also released a list of equivalency of Class 10 and Class 12 of foreign boards on the official website at cbse.gov.in.

The students who wish to come to India can check the name of the board on the list. The CBSE-affiliated school will provide admission to the student whose board name is on the list, if otherwise eligible. The Board does not need any prior approval for granting admission to the foreign board's student.

The Central Board informed that many families shifted (and still shifting) to India in the post-corona period because of various reasons. Therefore, there are many students studied from foreign boards who are now joining CBSE- affiliated schools. Keeping the current scenario and issues faced by the students and their families, the CBSE has taken the decision this decision.

"No such prior approval is required by the students from the board to seek admission in the schools affiliated to the CBSE", notified the central board.

Earlier, the admissions to the students of other boards were given based on the class equivalency of two different boards.
