CBSE Board Exams 2026: Board Announces Fresh Guidelines for LOC Submission for 2025-26 Exams
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recently unveiled updated guidelines for the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the 2025-26 board examinations, set to take place in 2026.
These fresh directives aim to streamline the exam registration process, ensure accuracy in candidate details, and uphold the integrity of the examination system.
Under the revised guidelines, schools affiliated with CBSE must adhere to specific timelines for submitting accurate LOC data for both Class 10 and Class 12 students appearing for the upcoming board exams.
The board has emphasised the importance of meticulous verification of candidate information, including personal details, subjects opted for, and examination centres. This measure helps prevent discrepancies that could affect the smooth conduct of exams and the timely issuance of certificates.
The board has also rolled out clear instructions on correcting errors in previously submitted LOCs and has urged schools to use the designated CBSE examination portal for all updates and communications.
Compliance with these new guidelines is mandatory, and schools failing to submit correct LOCs within the stipulated deadlines may face penalties or restrictions on student exam registration.
This move by CBSE reflects its commitment to leveraging technology and robust administrative practices to facilitate a hassle-free examination experience for students and educators alike.
Parents and students are encouraged to stay vigilant and coordinate closely with their schools to ensure proper LOC submission and avoid last-minute complications.
By bringing refreshed accountability and clarity to the LOC submission process, CBSE is setting the stage for a transparent, systematic, and well-organised board exam season in 2026, reinforcing its focus on student-centric examination management and academic excellence.
