What Is the CBSE LOC Correction Window?
CBSE has opened the correction window for LOC (List of Candidates) data from October 13 to October 27, 2025. During this time, students, parents, and schools can verify and correct errors in important details such as:
- Student’s name
- Parents’ names
- Date of birth
- Subjects chosen
After the submission of LOC, CBSE issues a data verification slip to students and parents to help them check these particulars carefully.
What Should Students and Parents Check?
In its official circular, CBSE advised parents and schools to double-check every student’s details.
The Board stressed that all corrections must be done before October 27, as no further opportunity will be provided later.
Important Points to Remember:
- The name, parents’ names, and date of birth must be written in full, not in short or abbreviated forms.
- The surname should be included—especially for students planning to study abroad.
- The date of birth must match the details on official documents like the passport.
- Subjects should be carefully verified since no subject changes will be allowed after the correction window closes.
Why Is This Correction Window Important?
CBSE explained that accurate data entry is critical for the smooth conduct of the board examinations. Any errors in names, birth dates, or subjects could lead to complications in:
- Board exam admit cards
- Result processing
- Migration certificates
- Further education or passport verification
Schools have been instructed to inform all students and parents immediately about the correction window and help them submit any necessary changes within the given timeline.
