The Board revised the affiliated Bye-Laws 2018 Chapter 2, clause 2.4.7, aim of ensuring the use of prescribed textbooks of NCERT/SCERT. The use of National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) books for Class I to XII is now been mandatory by the CBSE Board and limited the use of books by private publishers. Although the Board prescribes the Schools of Classes 1st to 8th and 9th to 12th, should take care while using supplementary material like Digital Content (if used, take care of the feelings of any class, community, gender, or any religious group).
