CBSE opens candidate list submission for 2027 board examinations

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has initiated the List of Candidates submission process for students appearing in the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations in 2027. Schools affiliated with the board can now access the online portal at cbse.gov.in to register their candidates for the upcoming examinations.

The submission window opened on September 24, 2026, and will remain active until October 21, 2026. During this period, schools are required to enter comprehensive student data including personal information, subject choices, and other relevant details as per CBSE guidelines. Timely submission is critical for ensuring students' eligibility and seamless conduct of examinations.

This annual process is essential for CBSE's examination planning and administration. Schools must ensure accuracy of all submitted information, as discrepancies can lead to complications during the examination phase. The board has advised institutions to complete the LOC submission well before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical issues.

Students and parents are urged to verify their details once schools complete the submission process. Any corrections or amendments can typically be made through designated revision windows announced by CBSE later in the academic calendar. The board has emphasized that meticulous record-keeping during this phase is vital for the smooth conduct of board examinations.
