Phone rules in India schools

Indian schools broadly prohibit student mobile phones on campus, and examination bodies including CBSE strictly bar phones from exam halls with disqualification as the penalty. The pressure point in India is exams and competitive entrance testing, where centres process very large candidate numbers and need a fast, auditable way to seal devices.

CBSE bars phones for students on campus

CBSE's 2017 circular set the framework for device rules and left the specifics to affiliated schools. States have since acted separately: Karnataka's 2025 district order bans phones and requires a trained counsellor in institutions with over 100 students, while the Delhi High Court in April 2025 rejected a blanket ban and directed schools to frame balanced policies instead.
