- Father's name
- Mother's name
- Guardian's name
- Date of Birth (DOB)
- Chosen subjects for Class 10th and 12th
Guidelines for Parents and Schools
CBSE directed schools to inform students and parents about the correction schedule. Parents have been advised to carefully verify their children's details as minor errors could lead to issues in important documents later:
- Full spelling of names: Ensure the student's and parents' names are written in full, not as abbreviations or short names.
- Check surname: Ensure the surname is included, which is especially important for students planning to study abroad where official documents require a surname.
- Match Date of Birth: If the student holds a passport, check that the date of birth in the passport matches the LOC entry exactly.
- Verify subjects: Carefully verify subjects chosen for Classes 10 and 12, as requests to change subjects will not be accepted after the correction window closes.
