CBSE Suspends G D Goenka High School’s Affiliation in Gurugram Over Safety Norm Violations

In a strong message on student safety and campus integrity, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has suspended the affiliation of G D Goenka High School, Sohna, Gurugram, for one academic year (2026–27), citing serious violations of affiliation norms related to infrastructure sharing and campus security.

According to the CBSE’s inspection report, the school was operating from a campus shared with two other institutions, with no proper physical segregation or pucca boundary wall. Inspectors found that multiple institutions were running from the same building across all floors, while a university programme was functioning on the top floor of the same structure—an arrangement the Board said poses clear risks to school students.

In its official order, CBSE underlined that a school campus must be fully secured and inaccessible to outsiders. Sharing infrastructure without clear demarcation, the Board warned, can expose children to unwarranted interactions, bullying, harassment and safety threats, especially when higher education institutions operate from the same premises.

The Board also noted that while the school made efforts to respond to issues flagged during inspection, it was not in a position to segregate the institutions within a short timeframe. Taking what it described as a “sympathetic view in the interest of students’ future”, CBSE opted for a time-bound suspension rather than permanent disaffiliation.

Under the order:

  • The school’s affiliation stands suspended for the 2026–27 session
  • No admissions will be allowed in Classes 9 and 11 during this period
  • Existing students in Classes 9 to 12 can continue their education

The school must disengage all other institutions, ensure exclusive use of the building and playground, and create separate entry and exit points

The CBSE's order to the institution gives the clear indication to other CBSE affiliated institutions that it has no tolerance for violations of safety related to the care of children who attend an CBSE affiliated institution.
