The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has suspended the affiliation of GD Goenka High School, Sohna, Gurugram for a period of one year for the academic session 2026-27 for serious violations of affiliation norms on campus safety. CBSE has barred the school from admitting students in Classes 9 and 11 for the next session, however, students in Classes 9 to 12 will be permitted to continue classes.
As per CBSE order, the school was found sharing its premises with other institutions without proper demarcation. During inspection, it was observed that multiple institutions were operating from the same building which includes a university programme.
CBSE in its circular mentioned that a school campus shared with other entities exposes students to potential risks of bullying, harassment from students of nearby higher institutions.
"These institutes are functioning in the same building on all floors besides the classes of one program of University on top floor of the same building. A school campus that is shared with other entities or institutions, without a proper boundary wall or adequate physical segregation, exposes students to potential risks, including the possibility of bullying, harassment or unwarranted interaction with students from nearby higher-education institutions whereas it is imperative that the school maintains a campus that is fully secured and not accessible to outsiders," the CBSE in the official order stated.
Meanwhile, India TV Digital tried to contact with the school authorities, but no response received.
