The CBSE Affiliation Extension Process

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) processes affiliation extensions entirely online through the SARAS (School Affiliation Re-Engineered Automation System) portal. The procedure is heavily data-driven, relying on the school's existing records and mandatory compliance documents.
