The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a reminder to all affiliated schools to ensure error-free submission of student data in the List of Candidates (LOC) for Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations for the academic session 2025-26.
The Board has directed schools to take full responsibility for verifying and correctly entering details while submitting the LOC. The advisory highlights that:
1. Spelling of names of students, parents, and guardians must match the school admission and withdrawal registers.
2. Date of birth must be recorded exactly as per school records.
3. Subject combinations must conform to CBSE’s scheme of studies and codes must be accurately filled in.
CBSE has cautioned that errors in data entry could lead to serious difficulties for students during examinations. Schools have been asked to be especially careful while submitting subjects like Hindi, Urdu, Mathematics Standard/Basic, and electives, where mistakes are common.
CBSE has provided an opportunity for schools to correct details even after submission of the LOC, provided the student has paid the examination fee. In such cases, schools may correct the data without extra charges. However, if any revisions lead to additional fees, the same will be borne by the students.
Additionally, a Data Verification Slip will be generated for each candidate after final submission. Schools will be able to verify and correct entries during this stage as well. If discrepancies remain, CBSE will carry out a data verification drive from October 13 to October 27, in which schools will be required to submit supporting documents like admission and withdrawal registers.
The Board has clarified that once the final correction window closes, no further changes will be entertained in student particulars or subject combinations. Schools have been urged to exercise utmost caution while submitting the data, as errors could affect students’ eligibility for examinations.
This advisory follows a reminder issued by CBSE on September 11, 2025, as part of its measures to prevent last-minute issues faced by schools and students during board examinations.
