Affiliation And Recognition

Affiliation and recognition, there is a significant difference between 'affiliation' and 'recognition'. Whereas 'affiliation', it meant to prepare and present the student for public examination, 'recognition' of a private school is for other purposes mentioned in the Delhi School Education Act, 1973 and it is only when the school is recognised by the 'appropriate authority' that it becomes amenable to other provisions of the Act, Principal v.
