CBSE Class 10, 12 board exams 2027: LOC correction facility open until November 7

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has opened a correction facility for the List of Candidates (LOC) data submitted by schools for the Class 10 and 12 board examinations 2027. Schools can access the official portal at cbse.gov.in to make necessary amendments to student details until November 7, 2026.

This correction window is a critical step to ensure accurate student records for the upcoming examinations, as only candidates whose names are successfully included in the LOC will be eligible to appear for the CBSE Board Exams 2027. The facility aims to prevent discrepancies that could affect students later, particularly those planning to pursue education abroad.

Details for LOC Data Correction

Schools are instructed to meticulously verify candidates’ personal details, which include names, parents’ or guardians’ names, date of birth (DoB), and subjects offered. According to a CBSE notice, “If there is any correction in candidate’s particulars, such as name, father, mother, guardian name, DOB or subject offered is found wrong by the school/candidate, the same can be done during the schedule for correction of LOC data.”

Parents and students are also urged to participate in this verification process. Parents should ensure their ward’s name, date of birth, and names are correct in the LOC, noting that names should be recorded in their expanded form rather than using abbreviations. Special attention should be given to the inclusion of surnames, particularly for students considering education abroad, and the date of birth should match passport details if available. Subject selections for both Class 10 and 12 must also be verified, as changes will not be accepted after the correction window closes, except for applicable transfer cases and certain provisions for Children with Special Needs (CWSN).

Important Dates and Fees for LOC Submission

The LOC submission process for the Class 10 and Class 12 Board Examinations 2027 commenced on September 24, 2026. The regular deadline for submission was October 21, 2026, followed by a late fee submission period from October 22 to October 30, 2026. While one source indicated an earlier correction window from November 2 to November 4, 2026, the current facility is open until November 7, 2026.

The fee structure for the LOC submission includes a charge for subjects and a late fee for submissions made after the regular deadline. These fees are essential for the board to manage the examination process effectively.

Consequences of Inaccurate Data and Future Opportunities

The CBSE has stated that no further opportunity to make changes or corrections to the LOC data will be provided after the current correction window closes on November 7, 2026. This underscores the importance of schools, parents, and students ensuring all details are accurate during this period. Schools are specifically tasked with informing parents and students about the correction schedule to support timely amendments.

For Class 10 students, this LOC submission pertains to the first board examination scheduled for February–March 2027. The CBSE will conduct a separate LOC submission process for the second examination for Class 10, which is part of the board’s revised assessment framework offering students an additional chance to improve their performance. Requests for subject changes and admission-related changes for Class 10 and Class 12 may not be accepted after the LOC submission process concludes, with limited exceptions for transfer cases and Children with Special Needs (CWSN).
