Historical background

The "United Provinces Board of High School and Intermediate Education" was the first Board set up in 1921 with jurisdictions over Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior. The Government of India in 1929 suggested to set up a joint Board to expand the jurisdiction and renamed it the "Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana", which included Ajmer-Merwara.

In 1952, as a result of the growth of State Universities and State Boards all over India, the constitution of Board was amended wherein its jurisdiction was extended to part-C and part-D territories and the Board was given its present name "Central Board of Secondary Education", it was in the year 1962 finally that the Board was reconstituted.
