CBSE 2027 Candidate List Submission Ends Today, Check LOC Guidelines

The CBSE 2027 candidate list submission deadline for regular Class 10 and Class 12 students is October 21, 2026, without a late fee. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reminded affiliated schools to complete the List of Candidates (LOC) process for the 2027 board examinations and ensure that student information is accurate.

Schools must verify candidates’ personal details, eligibility and subject combinations before finalising the list. Students and parents should also coordinate with their schools to check the information submitted for the upcoming CBSE board exams.

CBSE LOC 2027 Important Dates

The CBSE LOC process is a key registration step for regular students appearing in the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. Schools should check the applicable schedule and complete submission and fee payment according to CBSE instructions.

What Is the CBSE List of Candidates for 2027?

The List of Candidates, commonly known as LOC, is submitted by CBSE-affiliated schools to register eligible regular students for the board examinations. It contains important candidate information used for examination-related processes. The LOC submission covers students appearing for the CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 board exams 2027. Schools are responsible for submitting eligible candidates’ details and checking that the information matches their records.

Students should remember that the LOC process for regular school candidates is different from the examination-form process for private candidates. Private candidates should follow the separate notices published by CBSE.

CBSE LOC Submission Guidelines for Schools

CBSE has stressed accuracy and timely submission in its reminders. Schools should review all candidate records carefully before completing the process.

Key points for schools include:

• Verify student details: Check names, dates of birth, parent or guardian details and other demographic information against school records.
• Confirm subject combinations: Ensure that each student’s selected subjects and subject codes are correct before final submission.
• Check eligibility: Include only eligible students who meet the applicable CBSE requirements.
• Review photographs and records: Confirm that uploaded information and photographs, where required, are accurate.
• Complete fee payment: Follow the applicable examination-fee schedule and payment instructions.
• Submit within the prescribed timeline: Schools that have not completed the process should consult the latest CBSE instructions regarding the applicable submission window.

What Should Students and Parents Check?

Although schools submit the LOC, students and parents should confirm that the information recorded by the school is correct. Any mismatch should be reported to the school promptly rather than being left until the admit card is issued.

Once the school provides a verification slip or confirms the submitted details, students should check the following:

• Full name and spelling
• Date of birth
• Mother’s, father’s or guardian’s name
• Class and subject combination
• Subject names and codes
• Photograph and other displayed information, where applicable

If an error is identified, students should contact the school administration immediately and ask whether a correction is permitted under the applicable CBSE rules. Corrections should not be assumed to be available after every deadline.
