CBSE Board Exam 2026: New TC Rule Eases Student Transfers

CBSE Board Exam 2026 New Rule: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has told all its schools not to send transfer certificates (TCs) for counter-signing to the main or regional offices. According to reports, CBSE had already stopped the rule that required TCs to be signed again when students moved between CBSE schools.

CBSE Issues Fresh Notice to All Affiliated Schools

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again told all its affiliated schools not to send any requests for countersignature of transfer certificates (TCs) to the headquarters or regional offices. According to officials, this rule has been in place for some time, as the Board had already ended the requirement of countersignatures between CBSE-affiliated schools.

Why Did CBSE Reiterate This Rule?

CBSE officials said that even after the earlier notification, many schools were still sending TCs to regional offices for countersignature. This has caused unnecessary delays and confusion for students and schools. CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj stated that not following this rule creates inconvenience for stakeholders and goes against the digital process CBSE is promoting.
