The CBSE Board has officially reopened the 2026 LOC (List of Candidates) Portal for schools to submit their candidate details. This critical process ensures that students are registered for the upcoming CBSE Board exams in 2026. Here’s everything schools and students need to know!
1. The LOC Portal is Live!
The CBSE has officially reactivated the List of Candidates (LOC) portal for schools to begin registration for the 2026 board exams. Schools across india must log in to the official CBSE website—cbse.gov.in—to complete and submit the LOC form. This is a crucial step for ensuring that all eligible students are enrolled for the exams.
2. Key Dates to Keep in Mind
Timing is everything! The last date for schools to complete the LOC submission without a late fee is October 8, 2025. Be sure to act fast, as missing this deadline could result in additional charges. However, for those who miss the regular deadline, there’s a final chance to submit by October 11, 2025, but it will incur a late fee.
3. What is the LOC Form?
The LOC form is a registration document required by CBSE to confirm the candidates for the upcoming board exams. It helps CBSE maintain accurate records of all students enrolled for the exams. Schools must submit details such as student names, roll numbers, and other personal information for both Class 10 and Class 12 students.
4. Late Fee Implications
While the CBSE encourages schools to submit the LOC details on time, they understand that delays happen. If the LOC is submitted after the regular deadline (October 8), schools will need to pay a late fee. Schools should be mindful of this, as these additional charges can add up quickly, affecting their overall financial planning for the year.
5. How to Submit the LOC Form?
Submitting the LOC form is a simple yet essential process. Schools need to:
· Login to the CBSE website using their credentials.
· Fill in the student details as required.
· Verify the information to ensure accuracy.
· Submit the LOC form after reviewing the data.
Once submitted, the data will be processed by CBSE, and students will be officially registered for the 2026 exams.
6. Why is the LOC Important?
This step is more than just paperwork. The accurate submission of the LOC ensures that:
· students receive the correct exam roll number and admit card.
· CBSE can manage exam centers effectively.
· Schools can track and confirm the status of student registrations.
Without the LOC form, students will not be able to appear for the exams, which could lead to serious consequences for both students and schools.
7. Don’t Wait – Act Fast!
With the clock ticking, it’s important for schools to act quickly and avoid the stress of last-minute submissions. Ensure that all student information is verified before submission and keep an eye on the deadlines—October 8 for the regular submission, and october 11 for late fee submissions.
Conclusion
The reopening of the CBSE 2026 LOC portal is an essential step in preparing for the upcoming exams. Schools must complete the registration promptly to avoid late fees and ensure that students are correctly listed for the exams. Mark your calendars and make sure to submit the form before the deadline!
