Keeping in mind the pandemic situation and the movement of students back to their home-towns, CBSE had allowed students to change their exam centre and city change recently.

The official statement issued by the Board in this regards read “It has come to the notice of the board that because of COVID-19 pandemic, students of Classes 10 and 12, along with their families, have shifted to some other city or country and therefore, they are unable to appear in the practical/theory exam from the school/ exam centre where the students are registered for the board exams. Looking into the problem, CBSE has decided to permit the change in the examination centre.”
