New Delhi, August 20, 2023: In a recent circular addressed to all principals of schools affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, the board’s Controller of Examinations, has highlighted the critical importance of providing accurate student information during the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the upcoming class X and XII board examinations.
The LOC serves as an essential form through which CBSE collects students’ names and other pertinent details necessary for conducting the board examinations. Dr. Bhardwaj’s letter emphasizes the need for schools to diligently fill in demographic particulars and subjects selected by students.
Ensuring accurate data submission in the LOC brings several significant advantages. Firstly, it guarantees the seamless conduct of examinations, sparing students from potential obstacles before their exams. Secondly, it ensures the issuance of passing documents with precise information, preventing any future issues that may arise due to incorrect details.
The circular points out a observed trend where schools and students unintentionally provide incorrect data during the submission process. This practice leads to a cascade of complications, including the necessity for data correction post-examinations, which could potentially hinder students during admissions and other future endeavors.
The circular specifically addresses two areas of concern: incorrect demographic details and inaccurately listed subjects. Providing wrong demographic details could result in students needing to rectify these details post-examinations, potentially affecting their admission processes. Similarly, incorrect subject listings can render students ineligible to appear for their exams.
With the LOC submission process underway, the circular serves as a reminder to all schools about the importance of providing accurate data. Dr. Bhardwaj urges schools to thoroughly review LOC Notification No. CBSE/LOC/2023-24/ dated 17/08/2023 before entering students’ information. Additionally, staff entrusted with this task should be well-versed with the guidelines stipulated in the circular to prevent errors. Parents are also encouraged to understand the gravity of accurate data submission and the repercussions of inaccuracies. It’s important to note that subject corrections after the submission of the LOC will not be accommodated.
Importantly, the circular emphasizes that no window for data correction will be available once the data is uploaded. Thus, the responsibility of submitting correct information lies squarely with the respective schools. Schools are urged to ensure data accuracy before submitting it to the board.
As CBSE prepares for a smooth examination process, Dr. Bhardwaj’s circular underscores the collective responsibility of schools, students, and parents in upholding the integrity of student information for the upcoming board examinations.
