What Is the CBSE List of Candidates (LOC)?

The List of Candidates (LOC) is an official record submitted by affiliated schools to CBSE containing details of students who will appear in the board examinations.

The list includes essential student information and selected subjects. CBSE uses these details for examination-related arrangements and administrative processes.

Schools must ensure that all eligible students are included in the LOC. They should also verify personal information and subject selections carefully before submitting the final list, as errors could create difficulties during subsequent examination procedures.

CBSE LOC Late Fee: What Schools Should Know?

Schools that fail to submit the LOC by October 21, 2026, should refer to the latest CBSE circular for instructions regarding late submission.

According to the reported schedule, the late submission window remains open until October 30, 2026, with a late fee of Rs 2,000 per student in addition to the regular examination fee.

Schools should confirm the applicable charges, payment process and final submission date through the officialCBSE website  before completing the process.

Important Guidelines for Schools

CBSE-affiliated schools should follow these instructions while submitting the LOC for the 2027 board examinations:

-Verify the personal details of every eligible student.

-Ensure that no eligible candidate is left out of the list.

-Pay the prescribed examination fee within the applicable deadline.
