Upload LOC to avoid discrepancies: CBSE instructs schools across India and overseas

The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued directions to the schools to upload the list of candidates who are eligible to appear in the upcoming board examinations. The list is to be uploaded on the e-Pariksha portal. The CBSE has issued these instructions to ensure transparency in the details and that no mistakes are made in terms of uploading the candidate's information. The measures are taken so that there is no discrepancy in the candidate's information.

Usually, the schools in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities do not face hurdles in complying with the process. However, the same cannot be said by the schools located in Tier-3 cities. Poor network and low internet concentration in the cities is a prominent reason why they undergo difficulties in following up with the instructions.

The process for submission of the LOC for classes 10th and 12th has been started from 17th September 2021. The last date to fill up the details without any kind of late fee is 30th September 2021, and the last date to pay the fee has been decided at 1st October 2021. Schools will have to pay an amount of INR 1500 per Indian student for five subjects. The fee for the schools located abroad is INR 10,000. If due to some reason, the process of LOC is not completed by the scheduled date and is delayed, a late fee of INR 2000 will have to be paid if the LOC is done by 9th October 2021.
