So, to place the request for exam city or country change, candidates will have to make a request to their respective school by 10 November. Following this, the school will send requests to the exam conducting body on the board’s website by 12 November.
“The facility for change of examination city/ country will be available to the students who are residing in some other city or country and not in the city or country where they are studying because of COVID,” CBSE said in official notification.
The notice regarding the change in the exam centre has been released on the official website of CBSE. Students can find the notification here.
