Schools Cannot Demand Tuition Fees for CBSE Class 10 Board Compartment Exams; Only Names Need to be Entered in the LOC..

CBSE 10th Board Second Exam 2026: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and 12 Board Examinations for 2026 have concluded. It is anticipated that the results for the CBSE Class 10 Board Exams may be released as early as April this year. The primary reason behind this is the introduction of a second examination for the Class 10 Board. In fact, starting this year, CBSE will conduct two examinations for the Class 10 Board. This second examination is optional. Only those candidates who appeared for the main Class 10 Board Examination in three subjects are eligible to take this second examination. In essence, CBSE is now making preparations to conduct this second examination for the Class 10 Board.

In this regard, CBSE had issued a circular a few days ago concerning the 'List of Candidates' (LOC). Now, CBSE has issued a new circular regarding this matter, stating that schools are not permitted to levy tuition fees for the Class 10 Board Second Examination. Let us examine the full details of this issue.

**Schools Charging Three Months' Fees**
CBSE had issued a circular regarding the LOC for the Class 10 Board Second Examination. In this context, instructions were issued to schools stating that they must not collect any unauthorized fees whatsoever in connection with the Class 10 Board Second Examination. CBSE has explicitly clarified that the collection of any form of unauthorized fee for the Class 10 Board Second Examination is prohibited and constitutes a violation of the regulations. CBSE issued these directives after it came to the Board's notice that several schools were collecting three months' worth of fees from parents and students under the pretext of the LOC process and the second examination. CBSE has warned that punitive action will be taken against any school that fails to comply with these instructions.

**LOC Process to be Completed in Three Phases; Fees Must be Paid**
The process for the 'List of Candidates' (LOC) regarding the CBSE Class 10 Board Second Examination is underway—a matter for which CBSE had previously issued a circular. CBSE has clarified that the LOC process will be completed in three distinct phases. In the first phase, only the names of the students will be submitted to the Board; this is intended to ascertain the exact number of students from each school who have appeared for the Class 10 Board Examinations. Subjects can be added or removed during the second and third phases.
