CBSE issues guidelines & procedure to change exam centre

The latest CBSE notification informs full details about how to change your exam centre for the pending CBSE board exams 2020, eligibility criteria for the same, the process to be followed, guidelines and last dates for all the work.

CBSE informed in the notification that each district with CBSE affiliated schools will have one school as the appointed nodal examination centre for candidates.

This exam centre will be used by CBSE students who moved in from a different district during the lockdown period and would be unable to appear for the pending CBSE board exams in their home schools as they are simply too far away.

This is certainly good news for those students who had to shift locations before or during the Covid-19 lockdown as they wouldn’t need to avail long train rides to appear for the CBSE board exams 2020.
