CBSE Issues Final Reminder for Class 10 and 12 LOC Submission

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a formal reminder to all affiliated schools regarding the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the 2026-27 academic session. With the deadline approaching, the board has urged school principals to ensure that the registration process for students in Classes 10 and 12 is completed promptly and accurately.

According to the official notification, the final date for schools to submit the LOC with the standard examination fee is October 21, 2026. As the deadline draws near, the board is emphasizing the importance of timely compliance to avoid any administrative complications for students appearing in the upcoming board examinations.

Guidelines for School Principals

The CBSE has outlined five critical instructions that schools must adhere to during the submission process. Principals are primarily responsible for ensuring that all data entered into the portal is accurate and verified against school records before the final submission is made. The board has stressed that any errors or inconsistencies in student details must be identified and rectified beforehand to prevent issues during the issuance of admit cards or result processing.

A significant focus of the current directive is the accuracy of subject selections. Schools are required to cross-verify that the subjects recorded in the LOC align precisely with the curriculum being studied by the students. Furthermore, the board has reminded institutions to confirm that every eligible candidate is included in the list, ensuring that no student is inadvertently left out of the registration process.

Fee Payment and Deadline Compliance

Beyond the verification of student data, the timely payment of the applicable examination fees is a mandatory component of the LOC submission. The board has advised schools to complete the entire process well before the October 21, 2026, deadline rather than waiting until the final day. By adhering to the prescribed schedule, schools can ensure a smooth registration experience for their students and maintain compliance with board regulations. The board continues to monitor the progress of submissions as the cutoff date approaches.
