CBSE Class 10, 12: LOC data correction window open for schools

What has happened

CBSE has given schools a correction window to fix errors in the List of Candidates (LOC) data for Classes X and XII, 2026-27. This follows the earlier LOC notification and the reminders sent after it, in which schools were asked to submit accurate data.

The board had said earlier that after the last date for LOC submission, schools would generate a data verification slip for each candidate. If the school or candidate finds any detail wrong, it can be corrected during this correction schedule.

Who benefits

This directly helps students whose LOC has a wrong name, father/mother/guardian name, date of birth or subject offered. If the school or student spots a mistake, it can be fixed during the correction window.

CBSE said this will also help in the smooth conduct of examinations. The board made clear that after the correction schedule, no change will be made in Classes X and XII.

What parents are asked to do

CBSE has asked parents to check whether their child’s name, date of birth, mother’s name and father’s name are correctly filled in the LOC. Names should be in expanded form, not short names, because documents in extended form are required at many places later.

If the child plans to go abroad, the surname should be given, as several countries require it. The date of birth should be correct in all respects, and if a passport has been issued, the details should be checked against it. Subjects should be filled with care in the LOC of both classes, as no change will be accepted after the correction schedule. The board said it is the parents’ responsibility that the data submitted in the LOC is correct.

What to do now

Schools have been asked to bring this circular to the notice of all concerned students and parents and to submit corrections strictly as per the schedule. For the correction dates and further details, contact your school or check the CBSE website, www.cbse.gov.in.
