CBSE has opened submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams 2027, and schools must file it for every student who will sit the exams. The board issued the circular on September 21, 2026. A student whose name is missing from the LOC cannot appear in the main exam, so this is the one list worth confirming with your school now.

What Is the LOC and Why Does It Matter?
The LOC is the school’s official list of students entering the Class 10 and Class 12 board exams. Your school fills in your name, parents’ names, date of birth, photo and subject combination, then pays the exam fee to CBSE. Everything printed on your admit card and certificate traces back to this list.
That is why CBSE says changes after the deadline will not be allowed, with only a short correction window for names and birth dates. A typo now can mean a long correction process later.
What Class 10 and Class 12 Students Should Check
Ask your school to show you the data it plans to submit, or check any student data sheet it shares. Look at five things:
- Your name and both parents’ names, spelled exactly as on your Class 9 or Class 11 registration.
- Your date of birth.
- Your photograph.
- Your subject combination, including any additional subject.
- Your category and any special provisions, such as a scribe, if you need one.
CBSE also issued a circular on September 23, 2026 about streamlining corrections to demographic details. If your records already have an error, ask your school about that process.
Class 10 Two-Exam System
Class 10 follows a two-exam system, and the reported circular details say LOC is submitted separately for each exam. Ask your school how it is handling this for your batch, and whether you plan to sit both.
Fees and Late Charges
The fee is paid by the school, though many schools collect it from families. Late submission is reported to cost Rs 2,000 per candidate, so schools have every reason to finish before October 21. Families should not wait for a reminder from the school.
