The affected centre, earlier located at Govt. Boys Middle School Zainapora, has now been shifted to its new fixed location at Govt. Higher Secondary School Zainapora.
This relocation is effective immediately and must be noted by all students, staff members, and related authorities to ensure smooth conduct of examinations.
What the JKBOSE Notification States
The notice clearly informs that the examination centre for Class 11th HSE-I under the Annual Regular 2025 (Oct–Nov Session) has been shifted with immediate effect.
The details provided in the official circular are as follows:
| Centre Number | Previous Location | New Fixed Location | Police Station |
|---|---|---|---|
| 236001 | Govt. Boys Middle School Zainapora | Govt. Higher Secondary School Zainapora | Zainapora |
The board has taken this decision to ensure that the upcoming examinations are conducted in a more organized and convenient environment for both students and supervisory staff.
Who Should Take Note of This Centre Change?
The notice is relevant for:
- All Class 11th (HSE-I) students assigned to Centre Number 236001
- School heads and exam staff of both involved institutions
- Examination Superintendents and Invigilators
- JKBOSE district and divisional officers
- Parents and guardians
- Local police authorities involved in exam security
Any student who was previously allotted the old centre must now report to the new examination centre without fail.
Reasons Behind JKBOSE Centre Shifting
Although the circular does not specify the reason, examination centre shifts typically occur due to:
- Infrastructure limitations
- Accommodation or seating capacity issues
- Logistical improvements
- Administrative convenience
- Better security and surveillance arrangements
- Large student turnout requiring bigger halls
The shift from a Middle School to a Higher Secondary School suggests the need for better facilities and adequate seating arrangements for Class 11th examinations.
Important Instructions for Students
All students appearing for the HSE-I Annual Regular 2025 exams must:
- Carefully note the new venue before the exam date
- Reach the centre at least 30–45 minutes early
- Carry their admit card and valid ID card
- Follow all JKBOSE examination rules and seating protocols
- Avoid visiting the old examination centre
Failure to report at the correct centre may lead to non-appearance, which JKBOSE will not be responsible for.
Directions Issued to Authorities
The circular also includes a detailed distribution list directing multiple officials to ensure proper execution of the centre shift.
