“India has the potential and the caliber to sustain the global needs with its talent, it requires right mode of shaping and nurturing the talents and the skills.”

A school is a platform that offers pool of opportunities for talent and skills and helps the young learners to speak and voice out their skills efficiently.

With this post I want to draw your attention towards the steps involved in starting a school in India, so let’s read ahead…

SCHOOL REGISTRATION

  • You would be surprised to know that as per Indian laws, private organizations cannot open schools in India, just to ensure education does not happen solely for profit.
  • The schools in India must be in accordance with the Societies Act of 1860 or by a trust that has been organized as per the Public Trust Act of individual states.
  • A private entity willing to set up a school in India can also set up a company as prescribed by Section 8 of the Companies Act 2013.

LAND FOR SCHOOL

  • To build an educational institute school’s governing body must attain a NOC from the concerned state’s Department of Education.
  • On the other hand, the purchase of land from the government- for the school- will require to procure a no-objection certificate referred to as the Essentiality Certificate (EC)- which is an essential document certifying the requirement of an institute in the particular zone, and must take it from the concerned state’s Department of Education.
  • The Department of Education (DOE) has the authority to make the decision for a school in a particular zone.
  • The construction must commence within 3 years of obtaining the certificate, failing to which the society has to apply for renewal. The society needs to obtain a “letter of sponsorship” from the DoE.

SCHOOL AFFILIATION

The affiliation for the school requires the Online application, which can be further submitted for the

  • Approval of Middle-Class Syllabus/Affiliation or Switch Over upto Secondary level/ Upgradation or Switch Over to Senior Secondary level
  • Additional Subjects, applicable in case of already CBSE affiliated Senior Secondary schools.
  • Extension of Provisional Affiliation in case of already CBSE affiliated school upto Secondary / Senior Secondary level.
  • For non switch over cases, a school has to first affiliate itself with CBSE upto Secondary stage and run class IX for a minimum period of one year then applying for Upgradation to Senior Secondary level.
  • Affiliation fee has to be deposited by online banking/ debit card/credit card/NEFT.
  • Last date for submission of application is 30th June, of the year in which class VII, IX, XI is proposed to be started.
  • The classes must not be started without prior affiliation with the Board.
  • For the Extension cases, the schools who have missed the deadline last year can apply this year with a late fee.
  • For schools (applying late) who submit their application in January, the late fees is Rs 20000, however from 1 February, the late fee will be Rs 100000.

Once this application is submitted, then an inspection committee comes to conducting the detailed inspection matching the norms and condition, and on being satisfied with the facilities school affiliation is granted.
