CBSE Issues Strict Instructions On Correcting Student Details
CBSE wants student information to be correct in school and exam records.
This includes names, parents’ names, and dates of birth.
Schools must check these details carefully during registration and before exams.
Students and parents get about 20 chances to check the information in Classes 9, 11, and 12.
CBSE often receives correction requests after results are announced.
Some requests are missing documents or contain unclear papers.
CBSE says incomplete requests may be rejected.
Students should ask their schools to send correction requests to the Board.
CBSE directed schools to ensure students’ demographic details are accurate across all official records.
Schools must follow verification procedures during registration, List of Candidates submission, and admit-card checks.
Students and parents have about 20 opportunities to verify details across Classes 9, 11, and 12.
Correction requests must include complete, clearly visible, certified records from previous schools where applicable.
Incomplete requests may be rejected, and students should route correction requests through their schools.
