Rajasthan Cracks Down On 'Dummy' Admissions, Cancels CBSE Affiliations Of 5 Kota-Sikar Schools
In a significant crackdown against fraudulent admissions, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has revoked the affiliation of five schools in Rajasthan's Kota and Sikar districts for indulging in 'dummy' admissions.
The action comes after an investigation by the CBSE found that these schools were admitting students illegally without following proper admission procedures and norms.
What is 'Dummy' Admission?
Dummy admission is a fraudulent practice where students are admitted to a school only on paper, without actually attending classes or participating in academic activities.
Students may pay a fee to the school to be enrolled as a dummy student, but they do not attend classes physically. This allows them to claim the school's affiliation and appear for CBSE board examinations.
Why is Dummy Admission a Problem?
Dummy admission is a serious problem that undermines the integrity of the education system.
It deprives genuine students of opportunities to get admission into reputed schools and pursue quality education.
Moreover, it allows students to obtain CBSE certificates without having the necessary knowledge and skills, which can have serious consequences for their academic and professional careers.
CBSE's Crackdown
The CBSE has been taking strict action against schools involved in dummy admissions in recent years.
In Rajasthan, the board has revoked the affiliation of five schools, namely:
- Allen Career Institute, Kota
- Resonance Eduventures Pvt. Ltd., Kota
- Bansal Classes Pvt. Ltd., Kota
- Motion Education Pvt. Ltd., Kota
- Narayana Coaching Centre, Sikar
These schools have been found to admit students without conducting proper entrance tests and interviews, and without verifying their academic records.
Consequences
The cancellation of CBSE affiliation means that these schools will no longer be able to offer CBSE board examinations to their students.
This will have a significant impact on their operations and reputation.
The students affected by this action will have to find other schools to continue their education.
Moving Forward
The CBSE's crackdown on dummy admissions is a welcome step towards ensuring the integrity of the education system.
It is important for parents and students to be aware of the dangers of dummy admissions and to avoid engaging in such practices.
The CBSE must continue to take strict action against schools involved in dummy admissions and other malpractices to protect the rights of genuine students.
