The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released the Class 10 board examination results for 2026, reporting an overall pass percentage of 93.70%, a slight increase from the previous year. Starting April 16, 2026, schools must submit the List of Candidates (LOC) for students wishing to take the second board examination, which will close on April 20, 2026. This year, CBSE has shifted the responsibility for the LOC process entirely to school authorities, requiring them to verify student eligibility, confirm subject registrations, and ensure data accuracy before submission. The board emphasizes that any errors could lead to disqualification or subject mismatches during the examination. Students eligible to apply include those seeking improvement in up to three subjects and those in the compartment category. The board has made it clear that the submission timeline is non-negotiable, and failure to comply will affect a student's eligibility for the second examination scheduled for May 2026.
