Patna, April 12, 2017: Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) on Wednesday cancelled the affiliation of 50 schools/colleges for not fulfilling the affiliation criteria.

With this, the BSEB has so far cancelled the affiliation of 174 schools/colleges for lack of infrastructure and other essential papers to run sound academic activities.

The BSEB had 212 schools/colleges under suspension after the intermediate topper scam surfaced May/June last year.

He said the BSEB had given time to 4 schools to rectify the anomalies while 2 schools had been suspended.

He said the BSEB had moved forward on reform mode and no schools would be permitted to run its business without fulfilling the required criteria.
