New Delhi: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released a notification for the board examinations that are going to be held from July 1 to July 15. Previously, the board had decided to allow students to opt for changing their exam centre if they have moved elsewhere. It has now revealed important details about the same. Firstly, exams will be held in students' respective schools instead of the exam centres that they were allotted. For the candidates who have opted for a change of exam centre, one school will be assigned as a "nodal examination centre" in every district where the board has affiliated schools. Particular categories of students have been allowed to make the requests: those who were residing in hostels, those sponsored by state governments and the candidates who have shifted from one district to another, in this private candidates have also been included. The candidates cannot approach CBSE directly for this request and have to go through their school. The schools will process genuine requests and then send them to the board. The option cannot be exercised more than once. Examination centres will not be changed within the same district, here Delhi NCT has been considered as one district so the centre will not be changed from one district in Delhi to another. Besides this, exams cannot be held in containment zone areas and for school falling under such areas, a centre will be allotted elsewhere.

CBSE has today issued important information for the remaining Class X and XII exams to be held in July. Details can be seen at the link below https://t.co/gSXQOFpU7X@DrRPNishank @HRDMinistry @PIB_India @DDNewslive @AkashvaniAIR @OfficeOfSDhotre @PTI_News

Private candidates who are in the same district as their assigned exam centre, are required to appear for exams "from where they have appeared earlier up to 18.3.2020." Meanwhile, candidates who are seeking the change and are currently living in districts that do not have affiliated schools will have to find a neighbouring district suitable for them and duly inform the same to their school. The board has also informed that those who have moved abroad can only sit for the pending exams in an Indian district as exams cannot be conducted anywhere outside the country due to certain restraints.
