List of Candidates (LOC) 2026-2027: What Is The Procedure?
The List of Candidates is the online procedure wherein the CBSE affiliated schools submit the names of all those eligible to appear for CBSE's Examinations.
The CBSE notification specifies that only those appearing for the examination through the submitted lists will be eligible to appear for the respective examinations and subject to the eligibility criteria applicable to them.
- Student's full name and date of birth
- Gender and category, wherever applicable
- Names of parents or guardians
- Subjects selected for the examination

CBSE expects schools to make sure that the details submitted are in conformity with the records that the school possesses.
CBSE Reminds Schools On Error-Free Student Data Submission
The list of candidates (LOC) submission reminder highlights the need of submitting the data correctly and on time. Inaccurate or wrong subject combinations create avoidable problems during the examination period. CBSE requests the school Principals to review the concerned instructions, ensure staff members handling the task comply with them, and explain to the parents the correctness and authenticity of the submitted data.
The principals are also expected to reach out to students and their parents/guardians where necessary before making submission to ensure data authenticity. The time required to review details reduces potential errors, misspelled names, incorrect date of birth, omission of any information, wrong combinations etc.
What Class 10 And 12 Students Should Do Right Now
Even though schools are responsible for submitting the List of Candidates, students and parents have a role to play too. Firstly students need to check whether their data is correct: Ask the school to double check your name, date of birth and names of your parents/guardians. Then, cross-check your subjects: Make sure that the subjects you have selected in your form match with the combination at the school.
Lastly, respond to the school accordingly: If they call for your attention or require any documentation, you must do so in the stipulated period. Keep any information sent to you by the school regarding the confirmation of your name and subjects. Students must learn to follow the instructions as issued by the schools. Students must not assume that all errors may be rectified after submission. They need to refer to applicable rules on corrections as applicable to them.
