Find Your RBSE 2026 Exam Center via Shala Darpan
Finding your exam center is the first major milestone of the board exam season. For students appearing in the Rajasthan Board (RBSE) Class 10th and 12th exams in 2026, the Integrated Shala Darpan portal has become the backbone of all examination logistics. Whether you are a student anxious about your travel arrangements or a school teacher managing hundreds of roll numbers, understanding how the center mapping works is essential.
As of February 16, 2026, the RBSE exams are already underway (having started on February 12). However, many students still face confusion regarding their mapped venues, especially with the recent addition of several new districts in Rajasthan. This guide provides a detailed, human-focused walkthrough on locating your center using the most reliable tools available.
RBSE 2026 Exam Center Locator: How to Check via Shala Darpan Portal
The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan (BSER/RBSE), has set up over 6,100 examination centers for the 2026 session. While students receive a physical admit card from their respective schools, the digital “Center Mapping” on Shala Darpan remains the most accurate way to verify the location, especially if there are any last-minute changes or spelling errors in the school’s name.

Method 1: Locate Exam Center via Shala Darpan Citizen Window (No Login)
Most students and parents do not have login credentials for Shala Darpan. Fortunately, the Citizen Window (Sajhag Window) allows you to find school and center details publicly.
- Visit the Citizen Portal: Go to the official Shala Darpan website and click on the “Citizen Window” icon on the homepage.
- Search School Option: Click on the “Search School” tab and then select “Search by NIC-SD Code” or “Search by Name.”
- Enter Your School Details: If you know your school’s 6 or 7-digit NIC code, enter it. If not, select your District and Block.
- View Center Mapping: Once your school appears, click on it to see the profile. Under the “Reports” or “Academic” section, you will often find the Mapped Exam Center Name.
Method 2: School Login Guide (For Principals & Staff)
School administrators have a more direct way to pull the entire list of students and their assigned venues. This is particularly useful for printing the “Center Wise Student List” for school records.
- Step 1: Log in to the Integrated Shala Darpan portal using the school ID and password.
- Step 2: Navigate to the ‘Reports’ menu on the top dashboard.
- Step 3: Select the option labeled ‘Exam Center Mapping’ or ‘School Under Exam Center.’
- Step 4: Choose the session (2025-26) and the Class (10th or 12th).
- Step 5: The portal will display the primary center name and the list of students mapped to it. You can export this data as a PDF for offline verification.
District-wise RBSE 2026 Center List (New Districts Included)
Rajasthan’s administrative landscape changed recently with the creation of new districts like Balotra, Anupgarh, and Didwana-Kuchaman. Many third-party websites still show the old 33-district list. For 2026, the RBSE has mapped centers across all 50+ administrative units.
- Jaipur (North/South): Over 900 centers combined.
- Jodhpur (East/West): Significant surveillance centers (CCTV enabled).
- Udaipur & Bikaner: Largest rural-belt center mappings.

Understanding the Center Code on Your 2026 Admit Card
Every RBSE admit card features a 4-digit Center Code (e.g., 0101 for Ajmer centers). This code is not just a random number; it tells the invigilators which district and block the center belongs to.
- First 2 Digits: Represent the District Code.
- Last 2 Digits: Represent the unique Center Serial Number within that district.
If the center name on your admit card is slightly different from the name on Google Maps, always rely on the Center Code. School names are often similar (e.g., “Govt Sr Sec School”), but codes are unique.
Troubleshooting: Common Shala Darpan Center Errors
It is common to face issues while checking data online during peak hours. Here are the most frequent 2026 errors:
- “Data Not Found”: This usually happens if your school has not completed the “Sessional Marks” or “Student Verification” module on the portal. Contact your school clerk immediately.
- Blank Center Name: If your hall ticket shows a code but no name, the mapping is likely being updated by the Ajmer Board. This usually resolves within 24 hours.
- Center Far From Home: RBSE policy usually maps centers within a 10-15km radius. If your center is over 30km away, your school can file an appeal with the District Education Officer (DEO) for a review, though changes are rarely granted once exams begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my RBSE exam center after the admit card is issued?
Once the admit cards are generated on February 2nd, the center allocation is final. Only in extreme cases of clerical error (e.g., a boy assigned to a girls-only school) can the DEO intervene.
Is the Shala Darpan center list different from the RBSE official list?
No, they are the same. Shala Darpan is the database management tool, while the RBSE website is the public notification portal.
Final Thoughts for 2026 Aspirants
Checking your center on Shala Darpan is just the first step. Once located, visit the center at least one day before your first exam (Hindi/English) to calculate travel time. Keep your Jan-Aadhaar and School ID handy alongside your admit card.
