The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a final opportunity for affiliated schools to submit their List of Candidates (LOC) for Class X (First Examinations) and Class XII Board Examinations 2026 with late fees.
Despite issuing eight reminders and providing ample time, several schools did not complete their LOC submission within the original deadlines — 22nd September 2025 (via challan) and 30th September 2025 (for online payment modes).
To facilitate these pending submissions, CBSE has reopened the LOC submission portal from 3rd October 2025, according to the following schedule:
| Mode of Payment | Submission Window with Late Fee |
|---|---|
| Challan | 3rd October 2025 to 8th October 2025 (till 11:59 PM) |
| Other Payment Modes (Net Banking, UPI, Cards, NEFT, RTGS, etc.) | 3rd October 2025 to 11th October 2025 (till 11:59 PM) |
All Principals and Heads of Institutions are strictly advised to ensure submission of their school’s LOC within the prescribed timeframe with applicable late fees.
The Board has clearly stated that no further extensions will be granted and non-submission of LOC within the final deadline will make students ineligible to appear for the CBSE Board Examinations 2026.
