Every year before September 15, these details are to be collected as submitted as an Annual Report.

According to Regional Officer R J Khanderao, "While talking about government schools, all the information regarding them is updated on the site handled by DPI Kamlesh Kumar and he has all the necessary information. The private school has to follow the order of the CBSE otherwise they will be boycotted."

The Principal Rakesh Sachdeva of DAV Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 15 states that, "CBSE has been sending the curricular to update the websites for public convenience for last many years but unfortunately the regular reminders are not being followed. The CBSE should take some strict action so that the schools start listening to the orders of the board authorities".
