The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has asked all affiliated schools to complete the List of Candidates (LOC) submission process for Class 10 and Class 12 students appearing in the 2026-27 board examinations. Schools can submit the LOC with the regular fee till October 21, 2026.
Before submitting the form, schools should carefully verify students' details, select the correct subjects, and pay the required examination fee within the given deadline. Schools that are unable to meet the regular deadline should check the late-fee schedule and complete the process within the extended period.
What is the CBSE LOC?
The List of Candidates (LOC) is an official record that schools submit to CBSE for students who will appear in the board examinations. It includes important information such as students' personal details and the subjects they have chosen.
CBSE uses this data for various examination-related activities. Therefore, schools must ensure that all eligible students are included in the list and that every detail entered is accurate. Subject choices should also be checked carefully before the final submission.
