The PET exam will lead to a one-day closure at 32 schools in Noida and Greater Noida on October 30, according to an order issued by the Gautam Buddh Nagar District Inspector of Schools on October 29. The affected schools have been designated as examination centres for the written test.
The order applies only to the schools identified as examination venues and does not declare a holiday for all schools in Noida or Greater Noida. Principals of the listed institutions have been directed to ensure compliance with the order, which takes effect immediately.
The decision follows arrangements for the PET written examination at 32 centres across Gautam Buddh Nagar. The district education authorities have used the identified schools as venues, requiring regular academic activity at those campuses to be suspended for the day.
For students and parents, the distinction between the listed examination centres and other schools is important. The order does not indicate a district-wide closure of schools. Families whose children attend schools in Noida or Greater Noida should confirm the schedule directly with their respective institutions before making arrangements for October 30.
The district-level order reflects the administrative coordination required when schools are temporarily converted into public examination centres. The same premises normally used for teaching must be made available for the conduct of the written test, while school authorities are responsible for implementing the temporary holiday for their campuses.
A report by Live Hindustan – NCR also stated that schools and colleges in Ghaziabad would not conduct regular classes on October 30 because of the examination arrangements. The Gautam Buddh Nagar order, however, specifically identifies 32 schools in the district and makes clear that the closure is limited to those institutions.
The available order details do not establish whether classes will be rescheduled or whether any separate arrangements have been announced for students enrolled at the affected schools. Parents and students should therefore rely on communication from their school authorities for institution-specific instructions. The listed schools are expected to remain closed for regular academic activity on October 30 while serving as PET examination centres.
