CBSE LOC correction window 2026-27: Parents asked to verify student details

Alongside the opening of the correction window, CBSE has reiterated its advisory to parents, urging them to carefully examine the personal and academic details submitted by their wards’ schools.Parents have been asked to verify the spelling of the student’s name, date of birth, mother’s name and father’s name. The board has also stressed that names should be entered in their complete form rather than using abbreviations or shortened versions, as several institutions and authorities require expanded names in official documents.CBSE has specifically advised parents of students planning to pursue education or other opportunities abroad to ensure that the surname has been correctly mentioned in the LOC. The board has also asked schools and parents to cross-check the date of birth and ensure that the particulars match the student’s passport, wherever one has been issued.

Subject selection requires careful verification
