Taking the board exams can be an incredibly stressful time in any student’s life, and it can be more so if a student in the midst of all the revisions has to worry about locating the exam centres and getting there on time.

Thankfully, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has launched an app that addresses just that.

In a news report, NDTV has quoted a statement from CBSE noting, “The Exam Locator App helps students to quickly know the exam centre on the basis of Roll Number. A student can easily find the address, images and geo location of the designated exam centre on the map and know how to reach.”

The app for now is currently available only for Android phones. Once it is downloaded, students have to select whether they want details on CBSE Class 10 information or Class 12 information. After which, they have to input their roll numbers. The information will automatically appear.
