CBSE Exam 2025-26: Don't make this mistake, otherwise you won't be able to take the 10th-12th exams..

CBSE Exam 2025-26: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has clearly instructed all schools to fill in student data accurately in the List of Candidates (LOC) for the 2025-26 board exams, including the student's name, date of birth, and subject code. Any errors will be corrected on cbse.gov.in from October 13th to 27th, 2025, but additional fees may apply.

What corrections are required in the LOC?
The CBSE has warned schools that when filling out the LOC, student details must match their school admission records exactly, including the name spelling, date of birth, and subject codes. Incorrect data could cause problems for students at the exam center later, and the board doesn't want to take any risks.

Be careful when choosing subject codes.
Choosing subject codes is not easy. CBSE has advised schools to enter the codes correctly, or they may regret it later. Here is a list of some important codes:
For Class 10:
Hindi-A: 002

Hindi-B: 085
Urdu-A: 003
Urdu-B: 303
Mathematics (Standard): 041
Mathematics (Basic): 241

For Class 12:
Hindi Core: 302
Hindi Elective: 002
English Core: 301
English Elective: 001
Sanskrit Core: 322
Sanskrit Elective: 022
Urdu Core: 303
Urdu Elective: 003
Mathematics: 041
Applied Maths: 241

Schools must carefully check these codes so that students have the opportunity to appear for the correct subjects.

Correction Opportunity: October 13th to 27th
CBSE has provided relief to schools by opening a correction window that will be open from October 13th to 27th, 2025. During this period, schools can correct errors in the LOC. If you have submitted the LOC and paid the fees but later discover a mistake, you can correct it within this window. Just remember: an additional fee will be charged for the correction. After the correction, schools can issue verification slips for each student, and if any errors are found, they will have the option to update them. CBSE has made every effort to ensure that students do not face any difficulties.

Same rules for 9th and 11th grades
This isn't just for 10th and 12th grades. The same rules apply when filling out the LOC forms for classes 9th and 11th, meaning there must be no errors in the name, date of birth, and subject details. Schools will have time from October 13th to 27th for these purposes as well.

Exam Forms May Be Rejected
Avoid Mistakes: Incorrect data may result in students' exam forms being rejected.
Correction Opportunity: The window from October 13-27 is a golden opportunity to correct errors.
Subject Code Attention: It is important to enter the correct code, otherwise, students may appear for the exam in the wrong subject.

Tips for Schools and Students
Before filling out the LOC, match the student's name, DOB, and subject code with the school records. Check cbse.gov.in for regular updates. If any errors are made, correct them between October 13 and 27. Students and parents should also be asked to check their details with the school.
