CBSE has introduced new reforms for Class 10 and 12 board exams in 2026. Schools must submit the List of Candidates (LOC) online for both exams. Class 10 will have two exams: the first in mid-February is mandatory, and the second after that is optional for improvement. The board will link candidates’ APAAR ID with LOC data for better accuracy. Schools abroad are exempt from APAAR ID. Only students whose names are submitted through LOC can appear for exams. There is a special portal for Children with Special Needs (CWSN) to ensure they get exam relaxations. Schools must submit correct and error-free data. These changes aim to improve exam management and help students better prepare for board exams. (Updated 27 Aug 2025, 20:29 IST; source: link)
