Change of theory/practical exam centre

Keeping in mind the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country, the CBSE has allowed the class 10 and class 12 board exam candidates to change their exam centres. Many class 10 class 12 students have moved to other cities along with their families and finding it difficult to attend the exams due to surge in the number of COVID-19 cases. Under this provision, the class 10 class 12 board exam candidates will be allowed to change their exam centre according to their preference. Source: PTI
