How to Register Players for CBSE Games?

Schools will register students on the online portal. Those schools intending to participate in CBSE sports events should visit the CBSE website and complete the following 3 steps

Step 1 - Registration:

• Schools have the option to enrol their students online by completing the form available on the official website.

• Select the ‘Registration/Apply to Participate’ option.

• A unique identification number (UID) will be generated for each student.

• This registration process is required only once, and the same UID will remain in effect for all subsequent years while the student is enrolled in CBSE schools.

Step 2 - Apply to Participate:

• Upon completing the student registration, it is essential to click on ‘Apply to Participate’ to enrol the student in any game.

• This action is a prerequisite for participation in CBSE games.

• If the registration is finalised without completing this step (Apply to Participate), the student or team will be ineligible to take part.

Step 3 - Send Confirmation to Organising School:

Upon the completion of the aforementioned steps, namely 'Register Student' and 'Apply to Participate', the participating schools are required to send an email to the organising schools to confirm their participation. This confirmation should be sent at least one week before the event to allow the organising schools to make the necessary arrangements.
