CBSE Board Exam 2027: LOC Submission Begins September 24, Check Last Date, Fees & Important Details

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the schedule for CBSE Board Exam 2027 LOC submission for Class 10 and Class 12 students. As per the latest CBSE notice dated September 21, schools can begin submitting the List of Candidates (LOC) from September 24, 2026 for the 2026-27 academic session.

The LOC is an important pre-examination process through which CBSE-affiliated schools submit details of students appearing for the upcoming CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 Board Exams 2027. Students should therefore check their personal information, subjects and other details with their respective schools before the data is finally submitted.

CBSE Board Exam 2027 LOC Dates

The CBSE LOC 2027 submission window will open on September 24. Schools paying the examination fee through the regular digital payment mode will have more time than those opting for payment through challan.

The deadline is applicable to schools submitting candidate details for the CBSE Board Examinations 2027. Students should not wait until the final days to verify their information because errors in candidate or subject details can create problems later.

CBSE LOC 2027 Fees for Class 10 and 12

CBSE has prescribed the examination fee according to the student's country and number of subjects. For students in India, the normal LOC fee is Rs 1,600 for five subjects, while an additional subject attracts a fee of Rs 320.

For CBSE Class 12 students, an additional practical examination fee is applicable at Rs 160 per practical subject in India, Rs 175 in Nepal and Rs 375 in other countries.

What Students Need to Check Before CBSE LOC Submission 2027?

Although schools complete the LOC submission, students and parents should verify the information provided by the school. CBSE has previously highlighted the importance of entering accurate candidate and subject information during the LOC process.

Students should particularly check:

1. Full name and spelling as recorded in school documents.
2. Date of birth and other personal details.
3. Parent or guardian details.
4. Subjects selected for the CBSE Board Exam 2027.
5. Photograph and other candidate information wherever applicable.
6. Eligibility and examination-related details provided by the school.

Any discrepancy should be brought to the school's notice before the LOC is finalised.

How to Check CBSE Board Exam 2027 LOC Updates?

Students do not generally submit the regular-school LOC themselves. Schools handle the submission through the CBSE system. Students can, however, follow these steps to keep track of official announcements:

1. Visit the official CBSE website.
2. Open the examination-related circulars section.
3. Look for the latest notice related to CBSE LOC 2027.
4. Check the applicable dates, fee structure and instructions.
5. Contact the school administration to verify whether the student's details have been correctly included.

The CBSE examination circular page currently lists the September 21 notice titled “Submission of List of Candidates (LOC) for Class X and Class XII Main Examinations-2026-27”, confirming that the LOC process has now moved to the formal submission stage.

CBSE Board Exam 2027 Preparation Begins With LOC

The LOC announcement is an important step in the preparation for the CBSE 10th and 12th Board Exams 2027. It does not mean that the board examination date sheet has been released. As of September 21, CBSE's examination circular page lists the LOC notice, while the 2027 date sheet has not yet been officially released.

Students should therefore focus on verifying their examination details now while continuing their academic preparation. Schools, meanwhile, need to complete the LOC process within the prescribed deadline and ensure that candidate information is accurate.
