Guwahati's Dispur-situated Sai RNS Academy was disaffiliated by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) after it was found to be violating affiliation norms during a surprise inspection. Moreover, Sreeram Academy in Assam's Barpeta was among three schools downgraded during the nationwide inspection.

On Friday, the CBSE issued a list of schools which have been disaffiliated and downgraded over non-conformance of norms and other malpractices.

The malpractices included presentation of dummy students, admission of ineligible candidates, and improper record-keeping in some schools.
