Central Board of Secondary Education (cbse)

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by the Government of India.  Established in 1929 by a resolution of the government, the Board was an  experiment towards inter-state integration and cooperation in the  sphere of secondary education. There are more than 27,000 schools in  India and 240 schools in 28 foreign countries affiliated to the CBSE.  All schools affiliated to CBSE follow the NCERT curriculum especially from class 9 to 12.

The constitution of the Board was amended in 1952 to give its  present name, the Central Board of Secondary Education. The Board was  reconstituted on 1 July 1962 so as to make its services available to  students and various educational institutions in the entire country.
