CBSE Board Exams 2026: All schools should ensure accurate details are obtained from parents before exam registration and submission of the list of candidates (LOC) to the board.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued strict guidelines for schools to ensure demographic details of students appearing in the CBSE Class 10, 12 exams in 2026 are accurate. All schools should follow the CBSE instructions during exam registration and submission of the list of candidates (LOC).
All schools must make sure to obtain confirmation from parents about the correctness of demographic details. Before sending a request to CBSE for correction, all certificates from previous schools should be sent in the given format.
The board provides 20 opportunities to schools and parents to provide the correct demographic details of the students appearing for CBSE Class 10, 12 exams 2026 . However, in case incomplete requests are received, CBSE will immediately reject the requests.
“To ensure that requests sent to CBSE are processed in the minimum possible time, schools are directed to provide complete certified records,” the official CBSE notice reads.

Irregularities highlighted by CBSE
The list of common lapses faced by CBSE regarding demographic details of students is as follows.
- Schools send incomplete requests to correct demographic details.
- Missing supporting records from all previous schools of students.
- Unclear documents are sent with the requests.
- Several cuttings from the documents.
- Lack of response from schools regarding documents
According to the CBSE notice, despite giving multiple reminders, as soon as the result is declared, the board gets a large number of requests for corrections in the demographic details of students. This causes a delay in the processing of the requests.
Furthermore, CBSE also experiences students sending requests directly to the board or through legal notice. Therefore, CBSE has instructed all school principals and heads to ensure compliance with the guidelines issued to avoid delay in processing.
