The list of these schools is provided in Annexure-II. Additionally, to maintain the 1:15 ratio for the remaining CBSE schools, 113 more observers are required, as listed in Annexure-III.

In this regard, District Educational Officers (DEOs) are informed to identify observers from the 227 schools listed in Annexure-II, as well as from the additional 113 schools listed in Annexure-III.
