The Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) has extended the deadline for government schools, non-government schools with permanent recognition, and Gurukuls and Vidyapeeths to submit affiliation applications for the 2026-27 session. These institutions can now apply online until October 16, 2026, with a late fee included.

Non-government schools with temporary recognition can submit their affiliation applications from October 6 to October 31, 2026. The affiliation fee is Rs 8,000 including 18% GST. Schools that miss the deadline can apply between November 1 and November 10, 2026, by paying a late fee of Rs 5,000.
Applications must be submitted online through the HDFC Bank payment gateway via the official BSEH website. The board said all earlier instructions on the affiliation process remain unchanged. Schools facing technical issues can contact the board office or the Affiliation Branch by phone or email.
The extension gives government and permanently recognised non-government schools an extra window to meet affiliation requirements before the academic session begins. BSEH has not specified a maximum number of schools that can be accommodated, leaving the volume of late applications as an open factor. Schools that fail to meet the October 16 deadline face no further extension, only a late-fee window in November for temporary-affiliation applicants. The practical test will be how many schools submit within the new timeline and whether the board processes them in time for the 2026-27 session.
