The Central Board of Secondary Education has issued a new circular regarding CBSE Notifies Schools To Make Corrections In LOC Data. Those who want to get complete information and all the latest updates regarding Corrections in 2025 LOC Data, then read this blog post till the end.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released a new circular for CBSE-affiliated schools, allowing school authorities to make corrections in the details of candidates so that correct results and mark details can be provided to them. The correction LOC Data facility was opened by the CBSE Board for all schools on April 9, 2025, and will close on April 17, 2025.
The move came after several CBSE-affiliated schools were found to have submitted incorrect candidate data despite repeated instructions issued by the board. In many cases, the CBSE-affiliated schools later approached the CBSE Board seeking corrections in student details, following which the board opened a formal correction window.
CBSE Notifies Schools To Make Corrections In LOC Data
According to the CBSE LOC Data Correction notification, a processing fee of ₹1,000 will be charged per student for each correction request. This amount has to be deposited by the schools affiliated with the CBSE Board in their respective regional CBSE offices. This LOC Data Correction facility is open only for regular candidates.
The CBSE Education Board also said that no correction request would be accepted after this, and the finalised CBSE LOC data will be used in the mark sheet issued to the candidates.
Permitted CBSE LOC Data corrections listed
CBSE Board has specified the types of corrections in LOC Data allowed during this window. These include:
- Mother/Father name interchange
- Photo correction
- Date of birth is permitted as per rules and based on supporting documents.

There are certain categories that the CBSE board has not allowed as part of the correction process, such as category change, i.e. from General to OBC.
