Hello,
you ask whether it is mandatory to recommend NCERT books in all the CBSE schools then the answer is 'no. ' Sometimes it is not recommended by the schools as well. But in most of the schools, it is recommended to keep the NCERT books, at least, as some reference books.
Hope for the best.
Thank you.
