CBSE Board Exams 2027: Corrections to the LOC begin; November 7 is the last date..
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has provided an opportunity to correct the List of Candidates (LOC) for students in classes 10 and 12 for the 2026-27 academic session. The Board has opened an LOC correction window for schools. Schools can make necessary changes to student details through the official portal until November 7, 2026.
The Board has instructed schools to thoroughly verify the personal information of students recorded in the LOC. This includes the student's name, the names of parents or guardians, date of birth, and the subjects chosen. CBSE has clarified that no further opportunity for corrections to the LOC details will be provided once the stipulated deadline has passed.
What information can be corrected in the LOC?
According to the CBSE notification, if a student or school identifies an error in any detail, it can be corrected within the specified timeframe. It is essential to verify the following information:
Student's full name.
Father's name.
Mother's name.
Guardian's name.
Date of birth.
Subjects chosen for classes 10 and 12.
The Board has directed schools to verify all details to ensure there are no errors in the examination-related records.
Instructions to schools to inform parents and students
CBSE has asked all concerned schools to inform students and their parents about the schedule for LOC corrections. Schools must ensure that all student details are corrected within the prescribed deadline. According to the Board, any errors regarding a student's name, parents' or guardian's names, date of birth, or chosen subjects must be rectified during this correction period.
What should parents ensure they check?
CBSE has advised parents to carefully verify the information recorded in their children's List of Candidates (LOC). Even a minor error can lead to complications with important documents later on. Parents should pay particular attention to the following:
1. Check the full spelling of names: The student's name and the names of their parents must be written in full. Abbreviations or nicknames should not be used in place of full names.
2. Ensure the surname is included: The Board has advised parents to verify that the student's surname is recorded. This is especially important for students who may wish to pursue studies abroad in the future, as many countries require a surname for official documentation.
3. Verify the date of birth: If the student has a passport, ensure that the date of birth recorded in it matches the date of birth provided in the LOC. Both records must be identical.
4. Review the selected subjects: It is essential to carefully verify the subjects chosen by students in classes 10 and 12. The Board has clarified that requests to change subjects will not be accepted once the correction period has ended.
No further opportunity for corrections after November 7
CBSE has made it clear that once the correction window closes on November 7, 2026, no additional opportunities to make changes to the LOC will be provided. Therefore, schools and parents must complete the verification of all details before this deadline. The purpose of this facility is to ensure that accurate student information is recorded in the LOC and to facilitate the smooth conduct of the upcoming board examinations.
