Only students whose names are included in the submitted LOC will be eligible to appear for the corresponding Board Examinations.

A ₹2,000 late fee per candidate, in addition to the regular examination fee, is applicable during the late-submission period.
CBSE has stressed the importance of submitting correct and complete information. Schools, students and parents should carefully check spellings, dates of birth, subjects and other details before the final submission to avoid problems later.
