About JCB Public Senior Secondary School

JCB Public Senior Secondary School is a well-situated exam center in the modern Sector 3 area of New Shimla. For candidates, this location is a breath of fresh air as it sits at an elevation of about 6,500 feet, surrounded by greenery and far from the noise of the old city. Being in New Shimla—the city's primary residential and administrative extension—means the roads are generally wider and the infrastructure is more organized than the narrow lanes of the Mall Road area.

While Shimla is known for its steep climbs, this area is relatively walkable and well-serviced by local transport, ensuring you can reach your exam hall comfortably and on time.
