Maximum Sections (Built-up Carpet Area)

Source: CBSE Circular No. 13/2025 (31 Jul 2025)

CBSE now determines maximum sections from total built-up carpet area, not land. Schools add 3 additional sections for every 400 sq m built-up area beyond base. Built-up area must be certified by local body or licensed architect.

Built-up Carpet Area Max Sections (Balvatika–Class XII)
1,000 sq m8
1,400 sq m13
1,800 sq m15
3,000 sq m24
5,000 sq m39
6,200 sq m48 (maximum cap)
Practical Notes: Exact category applicability depends on CBSE definition; verify during feasibility. Secondary and senior secondary sections must not exceed one-fourth of total sections running from Balvatika to Class 10.

Disclaimer: Final interpretation rests with CBSE / SARAS and applicable state/local authorities.
