CBSE Tightens Process for Student Demographic Corrections Amid Persistent Errors
Share
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reinforced its data integrity framework by issuing strict new guidelines for the correction of student demographic details. The move comes after recurring issues—such as incomplete submissions, illegible documents, and unresponsiveness from schools—that have delayed the issuance of crucial Class 10 and 12 marksheets and passing certificates.
Under the updated process, schools are now held accountable at multiple stages. Starting with Class IX registration, demographic data must be verified and certified by both parents and school authorities. Following this, the board has added a “data verification slip” to the LOC submission process, allowing schools and parents to confirm details before finalizing entries. Corrections can also be made during this window.
Additional checks fall in place during admit card issuance and prior to result declaration. At each juncture, students, parents, and principals must affirm correct details. Incomplete or uncertified correction requests will now be summarily rejected. CBSE strongly discourages direct approach to the board via legal channels, emphasizing the importance of routing such matters through school authorities for timely resolution.
These reforms are part of CBSE’s broader efforts to digitalize and modernize examination-related processes. By introducing the data verification slip and reinforcing validation steps, the board aims to minimize administrative bottlenecks and enhance the accuracy of record-keeping. For the smooth conduct of board exams and reliable student documentation, strict adherence to these guidelines is now mandatory for all affiliated schools.
