The Central Board of Secondary Education has reopened the CBSE Board Exam 2026 LOC portal. Schools can fill the LOC form and submit it through the official website of CBSE at cbse.gov.in.
The LOC form submission portal will remain opened till October 8, 2025. The form can be submitted by paying late fee till October 11, 2025.
This decision to reopen the LOC portal was taken by the Board as many schools have still not submitted their LOCs within the prescribed schedule time.
The official notice reads, "All Principals who have still not submitted their LOC are therefore directed to ensure that the LOC for their respective schools is completed and submitted within prescribed timeframe with late fees. The portal will be closed as per above schedule, and no submissions will be accepted thereafter. Schools failing to submit their LOCs by the final deadline will bear full responsibility for the non-compliance and any resulting consequences, including the ineligibility of their candidates to appear for the Board Examinations 2026."
