Purpose of the Rule

CBSE wants to bring students back to classrooms - physically and mentally. Students enrolled at dummy schools tend to skip the learning experience in a school environment, focusing only on preparing for entrance exams. The new rule makes attendance mandatory, ensuring schools remain key to their education journey.

Create a Monthly Attendance Monitoring System

Whether it's registers or biometric systems, CBSE expects foolproof tracking. Teachers and admins must keep monthly attendance logs ready for inspection.

EdTech for Compliance & Clarity

Use edtech that auto updates attendance logs, highlights dropouts, and shares data across departments. The Extramarks School Integrated Program, brings JEE/NEET prep right into school hours—so students don’t need to choose between school life and exam goals. It supports teachers with expert content and saves time. It’s the smarter way to learn, grow, and beat the dummy school trend for good.

Master Hybrid Learning

If students can’t meet the attendance rule, they may have to appear for exams through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). However, CBSE allows up to 25% attendance relaxation for genuine reasons like serious illness, medical emergencies, or representing the country in sports or other national-level activities.
