CBSE LOC 2026-27 Latest Update
That leaves two days from October 28. The circular states that no extension will be made on the last date.
The regular window shut on October 21, 2026. CBSE marked it with Reminder 6, titled "Today is the last date for the submission of LOC", the last of six reminders posted from October 14.
Only the digital payment route is still open. Challan generation for the late window ended on October 26.
The fee is fixed by the date a school finalises its data. Only students listed in the CBSE LOC 2026-27 will be allowed to sit the board exams.
CBSE LOC 2026-27 Last Date and Late Fee
LOC in CBSE stands for List of Candidates. The school files it, not the student.

CBSE LOC 2026-27 Correction Window: November 2 to 4
After the last date, schools will generate a data verification slip for each candidate. If a candidate's, mother's, father's or guardian's name, the date of birth or a subject is wrong, CBSE will allow the correction from November 2 to November 4, 2026.
No correction will be allowed after that window.
