The way a schools acquires the CBSE Affiliation by following Two Mandatory Steps<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get Recognition from the State Board – Usually the entire process is online, and this basically means the school is qualified to operate as a school.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Get NOC from the State – The No Objection Certificate is an essential document which is required if a school is looking to get affiliated with any other board like CBSE, CISCE or IB Board. For CBSE the law changed in Feb 2025, (LINK<\/a>)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n

    What is NOC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    No Objection Certificate\u201d means a letter issued by the Education Department of the State\/Union Territory in respect of a School situated in the State\/Union Territory, certifying the State\/UT has No Objection for Affiliation of the school to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or for any other board.<\/p>\n

    Is NOC MANDATORY <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    School Education is a State Subject (like Police, Land Revenue etc), hence any school operating will have to follow the law of the land i.e State. To ensure State Govt objectives, respect to the local culture and traditions, Holidays, RTE and other state mandate are properly carried out the state govt gives a NOC to the Board (CBSE\/ CISCE\/ IB). It basically states that the Govt has no objection in \u00a0case the school adopts another board. The provision of the NOC was always there but was repealed for for couple of years in between. In January 2017, CBSE brought back the No Objection Certificate requirement for schools to apply for CBSE Affiliation. Getting an NOC is a time taking procedure also it could involve complexity owning to red tape. But with the new rule, it has become better, so NOC is still mandatory but now State Government cant hold on to the permission for ever.<\/p>\n

    This is what a usual NOC looks like, I am taking a publicly displayed NOC on the website of the school by the OOTY School\u00a0SF.No 992\/1B3A, Onnipalayampudhur, Karamadai To Airport Road,\u00a0Coimbatore \u2013 641 019. (https:\/\/www.theootypublicschool.com\/noc\/<\/a>) or like this NOC for Sri Sai Seva Charitable Trust, Navsari, Gujarat<\/p>\n

    \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

    Now, as mentioned above for CBSE, the law changed and this is the amendment;<\/p>\n

    Here is the extracted text from the image:<\/p>\n

    Existing Rule<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

    Clause 2.3.5: NO OBJECTION FROM THE RESPECTIVE STATE GOVERNMENT<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

    The Schools mentioned under clauses 2.1.5, 2.1.6, 2.1.7, and 2.1.8, seeking affiliation with the Board shall submit formal prior \u201cNo Objection Certificate\u201d to the effect that State Government has no objection to the affiliation of the School with CBSE.<\/p>\n

    No Objection Certificate once issued to any school will be considered at par even if it prescribes a specific period and\/or level unless it is withdrawn.<\/p>\n

    Amended Rule<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

    Clause 2.3.5: NO OBJECTION FROM THE RESPECTIVE STATE GOVERNMENT<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

    The Schools mentioned under clauses 2.1.5, 2.1.6, 2.1.7, and 2.1.8, seeking affiliation with the Board are henceforth, will be permitted to apply on SARAS Panel<\/b><\/span> for affiliation under various categories with or without NOC<\/b><\/span> (No Objection Certificate) from the forthcoming sessions w.e.f. the session 2026-27<\/b><\/span>.<\/p>\n

    In case, the school applies for affiliation without NOC<\/b><\/span>, then the Board shall write to the concerned State Government<\/b><\/span> to obtain their comments, if any, on the application of the school for affiliation with the Board.<\/p>\n

    The department may furnish its comments regarding the said application, if any, at the link provided in the letter within 30 days<\/b><\/span> of issue of the said letter. In case no comments are received within the said period of 30 days<\/b><\/span>, a reminder letter<\/b><\/span> will be sent to the concerned State Education Department<\/b><\/span> to raise their objection, if any, within another 15 days<\/b><\/span>, failing which, it shall be deemed that the State Government does not have any objection<\/b><\/span> on the grant of affiliation to the school by the Board, and the application of the school will be considered for grant of affiliation, if it otherwise fulfills the conditions for grant of Affiliation as per the Affiliation Bye-Laws-2018<\/b><\/span> of the Board.<\/p>\n

    This is a huge relief to all the schools.<\/p>\n

    Kindly<\/i><\/span>\u00a0Note:\u00a0<\/i><\/span>There are certain states which give NOC in the state official language, CBSE always points out as deficiency, kindly make sure that you get a true translation from the concerned department.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Different states\u00a0have different ways of issuing NOC, let us try to search and find the procedures from different states.<\/strong><\/p>\n
