FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Legal SR Worlds submit the SARAS application for us?
No. We prepare and organise your documents, data and readiness. The application is submitted by the school through the CBSE SARAS portal. We do not act on behalf of CBSE and do not control the portal.
What application categories are usually handled through SARAS?
Common categories include fresh affiliation, upgradation, extension / restoration, branch school, section increase, additional subject and shift changes. Which categories are open, and when, depends on the current CBSE notification.
How are the number of sections decided?
Recent CBSE norms link maximum sections to the total built-up carpet area certified by the local body or a licensed architect. Correct certification and calculation are important, and we support you in getting them right.
Is a physical inspection involved?
CBSE typically conducts physical inspection for affiliation and upgradation cases. We help you prepare a file, evidence folder and photo-plan so the school is ready.
Are the application windows and rules fixed?
No. Windows, open categories and requirements change through CBSE notifications, and portal screens are updated from time to time. Always check the current CBSE notification and portal instructions before applying.
Does this guarantee affiliation?
No. We provide readiness, documentation and support services. Affiliation and its timing are decided by CBSE based on eligibility, documentation, inspection and its own rules.
