The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released an official notification highlighting important deadlines for the 2026 board examinations for Classes 10 and 12. The notification covers the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC), the web module for students with special needs (CWSN), and the filling of examination forms by private candidates.

CBSE Board Exams 2026: Key Deadlines for Class 10 & 12 LOC and Form Submissions

Schools affiliated with CBSE are required to submit the LOC within the specified timeline, with provisions for late submission available for delayed entries. For candidates paying through alternative methods, specific deadlines for submission without penalties are also defined.

The CWSN web module has been provided for students seeking exemptions during the examinations. The process allows schools to submit applications efficiently, with options for late submission available if required.

Private candidates for both Classes 10 and 12 can submit their examination forms online through the official portal. Late submission facilities are available, but candidates are advised to complete the process early to avoid additional fees.

CBSE has clarified that each activity will end at the specified time, and late fees will be applied immediately for submissions after the deadline. The LOC portal will remain closed after the initial submission period and reopen only for the late submission window.

The Board has urged schools and candidates to strictly follow the timelines to avoid last-minute issues and unnecessary fee payments. Proper adherence ensures a smooth and organized examination process for all students.
