You have not mentioned the information, you can get it from CBSE, if they are supposed to have the information about affiliated private school.

Yes, You can get information from Private School as Private School are covered under "Public Authority" as per sec.2(h) of the RTI Act,2005.
Also, Information as defined in Section 2(f) of the RTI Act includes in its ambit, the information relating to any private body, which can be accessed by public authority under any law for the time being in force.

In a decision the Central Information Commission (CIC) has held that the even though the private schools are strictly not covered within the ambit of Right to Information Act, 2005, in as much as information pertaining to them is available with the Government in terms of the laws regulating the schools, such information being available with the public authority is accessible under the Act.
