In view of the increasing Covid-19 cases in the country, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the deadline for schools to apply for affiliation from the board for the 2020-21 session.
The new deadline up to which the schools can apply for affiliation without late fee is July 31.
Earlier, the deadline was June 30 and it is the third time CBSE has extended the deadline after the lockdown started.
The decision will be a relief for CBSE schools in the state which are facing financial hurdles due to lockdown.
The Kerala CBSE school management association and council for CBSE schools Kerala have been pushing the board for an extension in the deadline as it was difficult for the educational institutions to complete the formalities and paperwork regarding the affiliation.
Earlier, CBSE had fixed the deadline for applying as March 30, but after the Covid-19 pandemic hit India, the date was extended to April 30.
But then the national lockdown was extended to May 3 and school offices were not allowed to function in most states. Considering this and the uncertainty of further extension of lockdown, CBSE rescheduled the date to June 30 in April.
