CBSE asks schools to prepare Class 10 and 12 LOC data for 2027
## The short answer
CBSE has told affiliated schools to prepare for the 2026-27 List of Candidates (LOC) process for the 2027 Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations. Students do not need to submit a form today, but they should check their school records now because CBSE has not yet announced the opening date, last date or fee in this notice.
The notice is dated 10 September 2026 and is titled “Prior Intimation of Submission of List of Candidates (LOC) for Class X/XII Examination-2026-27.” LOC is the official list of students and subjects that a school sends to CBSE for the board examination. CBSE’s examination circular page lists the notice as CBSE/LOC-Prior Information /X-XII/2026-27/.
## What changed
This is an early warning to schools. It is not the final LOC submission circular and it does not start an online application window for students.
CBSE says that registration for Classes 9 and 11 and LOC submission for Classes 10 and 12 will start shortly. Before that happens, schools must prepare correct and updated information for each student.
The details named by CBSE include:
- The student’s full name, matching the admission register. - Date of birth. - Gender and category details, where applicable. - Full parent or guardian names with correct spellings. - The correct subjects and subject codes. - The required photograph and signature format.
CBSE issued the warning because incorrect subject codes, incorrect student or parent details, missing LOC entries and late submission have caused avoidable delays in earlier examination cycles. The Board says such mistakes can create problems for students later in the examination process.
This matters especially for Class 10 students because the 2026-27 academic session leads to the 2027 board examinations. It also matters for Class 12 students whose subjects, personal details and school records must match the information submitted by the school.
### Dates and status
| Item | Current position | |---|---| | CBSE notice date | 10 September 2026 | | Classes 9 and 11 registration | CBSE says it will begin shortly; exact date not announced in this notice | | Classes 10 and 12 LOC submission | CBSE says it will begin shortly; exact date not announced in this notice | | Student deadline | Not announced yet | | LOC fee | Not announced in this notice | | Who submits the data | The affiliated school, through CBSE’s process |
Do not rely on social-media posts or school messages that give a final date unless your school can show the official CBSE circular. The 10 September notice does not contain a last date or fee.
## What you must do next
1. Ask your class teacher or school office for a record check. Confirm your name, date of birth, parent or guardian names and subjects.
2. Compare the details with documents. Use your admission record and the documents already submitted to the school. Tell the school quickly if a spelling, date or subject is wrong.
3. Check your subject codes. A subject name may look correct while its code is wrong. Ask the school to confirm both the subject and the code.
4. Keep a copy of your correction request. If you report an error, send it in writing or by the school’s official method. Keep a screenshot, receipt or acknowledged copy.
5. Wait for the final CBSE schedule. CBSE has not announced the LOC opening date, closing date or fee in this prior-intimation notice. Once the final circular is issued, follow your school’s deadline, which may be earlier than the Board’s technical deadline.
6. Check again before final submission. Ask the school to let you verify the final details before it submits the LOC. Do not assume that an old correction will automatically carry forward.
If a school misses the process or submits incorrect information, CBSE’s notice says this has previously led to correction requests, delays and problems for candidates. Contact the school principal first. If the school cannot resolve the issue, ask it to contact the relevant CBSE regional office.
## Who this does NOT apply to
This notice is not a result notice, admit-card notice, date-sheet notice or private-candidate form. It does not open Class 12 improvement or supplementary registration. It also does not announce any change to the Class 10 two-board-examination policy. Students in Classes 9 and 11 are mentioned because their registration process is expected to begin, but the actual submission instructions and dates are still pending. Students in Classes 10 and 12 should not pay a fee or submit personal details through an unofficial link based only on this notice.
