CBSE LOC Correction Window 2026-27 Open For Classes 10, 12: Schools Can Edit Student Details Till November 7
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued a circular dated November 2 2026. It allows affiliated schools to correct errors in the List of Candidates (LOC) data for Class 10 and Class 12 students for the 2026–27 academic session.
The board has asked school principals to check the details submitted for students and make any required corrections within the notified schedule. The circular follows the CBSE LOC notification dated September 17 2026 and subsequent reminders to schools.

CBSE has also asked schools to share the circular with students and parents. The board wants schools and families to check candidate details carefully before the examination process moves forward.
CBSE LOC Correction Window 2026–27: Important Dates and Guidelines
The circular explains that schools will generate a data verification slip for each candidate after the LOC submission deadline. Students and parents can use this slip to check the information recorded in the LOC.
If anyone finds an error in the candidate’s name or parents’ or guardian’s name or date of birth or selected subjects then the school can make the required correction during the correction schedule.
CBSE LOC Correction Window: Important Date
The schedule printed in the official circular contains a date discrepancy. It lists the opening date as November 2 2026 and the closing date as November 7 2025. The closing date therefore falls before the opening date.
| Event | Date mentioned in the circular |
|---|---|
| LOC correction window opens | November 2 2026 |
| LOC correction window closes | November 7 2025 |
Schools and parents should check the latest official CBSE communication to confirm the correct closing date. This article does not assume a corrected date because the circular itself prints November 7 2025.
Details Parents and Students Must Check in the LOC
CBSE has asked parents to verify the information submitted for their children. The circular highlights the following details:
1. Student’s personal details: Check the student’s name and date of birth. Also verify the mother’s name and father’s name.

2. Full names: Ensure that the school has entered complete names instead of short names or initials. The board has highlighted the importance of expanded names for future documents.
3. Surname: Check whether the student’s surname appears in the LOC. CBSE has specifically highlighted this point for students who plan to go abroad.
4. Date of birth: Verify the date of birth carefully and ensure that the school has entered it correctly.
5. Passport details: If the student has a passport then compare the details in the LOC with the information recorded in the passport.
6. Subject selection: Check the subjects entered for both Class 10 and Class 12. CBSE has stated that schools cannot make subject changes after the correction schedule ends.
7. Accuracy of information: Parents must ensure that the school has submitted correct information for their child in the LOC.
Schools Must Complete Corrections Within the Schedule
CBSE has asked all affiliated schools to inform students and parents about the circular. Schools must submit any required corrections within the notified schedule.
The board has stated that it will not provide another opportunity to change or correct candidate data after the correction window. It has also stressed that accurate LOC information will help ensure the smooth conduct of the examinations.
Will CBSE Allow Further LOC Corrections After the Deadline?
No. The circular clearly states that CBSE will not provide any further opportunity to change or correct student data after the correction schedule ends.
Schools should therefore check the information carefully and complete the required corrections within the confirmed schedule.
Who Is Responsible for Checking LOC Details?
CBSE has placed responsibility on parents to ensure that the school submits accurate information for their children. Schools must bring the circular to the attention of all concerned students and parents.
Students and parents should review the data verification slip generated by the school after LOC submission and report any errors to the school.
