CBSE to ensure exam centres are within 8km of students’ schools

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has started developing an online system, which will ensure that students are allocated examination centres which are located within eight kilometres of their schools.

The board will provide all information with respect to exam centres for board exams, National Eligibility Test (NET), NEET, JEE main online. For this purpose it had asked for mandatory disclosures from schools throughout the country about the current infrastructure. This is done for the purpose of bringing transparency in the system. As of now there is no system for online mapping of such information.
The CBSE has decided to allocate the exam centres within an 8km radius of schools. This way the students don’t have to travel long distances for examination purposes. The closest centre will be allocated for other competitive exams.
This will help CBSE to allocating centres automatically based on the information of school infrastucture. The system will prompt the official at the moment the 8-10 km radius is crossed. So allocation of centres will not be far away. In the past there have been instances where students have been allocated centres at far-flung areas.
This process will eliminate the need for searching or physically checking the centre before the test. This is actually a common practice amongst the candidates.
The information which is being submitted by the schools will be used for allocating centres to students. Many schools have started to upload infrastructure details. There are about 18,000 schools affiliated to the CBSE including Kendriya Vidyalayas.
This online process will enable candidates to locate a centre on GIS maps in their mobile phones. Thus they will be able to view its facilities.
The online system will also provide facilities such as the furniture type, drinking facility, toilets that are present in the schools. The necessity of this step can be seen in the past where students had to write exam sitting on chairs meant for kindergarten children.
As per the CBSE affiliation rules, each & every school has to prepare & submit its annual report in order to provide comprehensive information including the details of infrastructure and teachers.
Once the board has all the data it can use it to plan future projects. On September 29, the board had asked all the schools under it make mandatory disclosures of all information pertaining to the schools including fees, infrastructure, teachers etc. BDMI, one of the top CBSE schools in Kolkata, also comes under this category, hence it will be beneficial for its students.
