The CBSE has issued notices to 27 schools in Delhi and Rajasthan on Thursday for "dummy enrolment" of students, reports news agency PTI, quoting officials. According to the report, the board is also contemplating legal action against those found guilty of non-compliance.
The decision comes after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted a surprise inspection at these schools to check the "dummy school" menace.
"Majority of the inspected schools were found to have violated the board's affiliation by-laws by enrolling students beyond their actual attendance records, effectively creating 'dummy' enrolments. Additionally, schools were found to be flouting infrastructural norms of the board," CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta said.

A large number of students preparing for the engineering and medical entrance examinations prefer to take admission in dummy schools so that they can focus solely on their preparations for the competitive exams. They do not attend classes and directly appear for the board exams.
Aspirants also choose dummy schools, keeping in mind the quota in medical and engineering institutes available for students from certain states. For example, candidates who have completed classes 11 and 12 in Delhi are considered for admission in medical colleges of the national capital under the Delhi state quota.
CBSE had earlier too cancelled the affiliation of 20 schools for enrolling dummy students and ineligible candidates.
