CBSE Issues Public Disclosure and College Verification Advisories
The CBSE has told all schools that follow its rules to put important information about the school on their websites.
This includes details about the school and its activities.
The CBSE says that if schools do not do this, they might get in trouble.
Additionally, the CBSE has advised schools and students to be careful about taking admission in fake or unrecognized universities.
