The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is now accepting the change of examination centre requests through their affiliated schools. The board recently came up with the guidelines and procedure for students to make a request for a change in the examination centre, which is listed below:
- CBSE will accept requests of candidates for change of examination centre only through their school.
- It will be the responsibility of the School to contact their students to know whether they have shifted to some other district and would like to avail the facility of changing the examination centre to their present district of stay in India, and thereafter, to provide the information to CBSE.
- Schools will use e-परीक्षा portal on CBSE website for providing the desired information.
- Request in any other mode will not be entertained by the Board.
- School will process the genuine requests made by their students and will recommend to the CBSE for change of district for appearing in the examinations as per rule.
- School will ensure that all requests received from their students regarding the change in the district for appearing in the examinations are uploaded on e-परीक्षा portal correctly.
- All requests will have to be uploaded on e-परीक्षा portal only in one lot by the school.
- The link will be closed after submission and it will not be opened again.
- It will also be the responsibility of the students to inform their own school about the fact that they have shifted from the district of their school to some other district in India and intend to appear in the examination from their present district of stay.
- Students who have shifted to districts in which there is no CBSE affiliated school and intend to change the examination centre will have to identify neighbouring district suitable to them and inform the same to their own school.
- No request for change of examination centre should be sent to CBSE directly by the candidates. Such requests will not be entertained.
- Students who may have requested CBSE to change their examination centre will have to make a request to their own school.
- CBSE will communicate to the schools about its decision regarding the change of district in the form of Permission Letter, for onward communication to the candidate concerned. Students can also check the location of the examination centre using a mobile app.
- Candidates shall have to carry a print out of Permission Letter while going to appear for the examination along with their old Admit Card and School identity card.
