The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE, केंद्रीय माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड) issues an admit card (प्रवेश पत्र) to every Class 10 and Class 12 candidate before the board exams. For 2027, the admit cards are not out and no release date has been announced as of 15 October 2026. Even the 2027 date sheet has not been released yet.

Right now the process is at an earlier stage: schools are submitting the List of Candidates (LOC), which is the data your admit card will be printed from. This page explains the timeline, the two Class 10 board exams, and how regular and private students get their cards. Confirm everything on the official site, cbse.gov.in.

CBSE admit card 2027 kab aayega?

Not announced. Based on the usual pattern, CBSE admit cards are issued in early to mid February, shortly before the exams. Exams in 2027 are expected from mid-February, according to news reports (Careers360, October 2026).

For comparison, last year the tentative date sheet came out on 24 September. This year it was still not released as of 14 October 2026, so the whole schedule may be a little later. Treat any "admit card date" you see online as a guess until CBSE issues a notice.

Why the LOC matters for your admit card

The LOC (List of Candidates) is the list your school sends to CBSE with each student's details, such as name, parents' names, date of birth and subjects. Your admit card is generated from this data, so mistakes in the LOC become mistakes on your admit card.

Key LOC dates for the 2027 exams, according to news reports:

Action for students: ask your class teacher to show you your LOC entry before the correction window closes on 4 November. Check the spelling of your name and your parents' names, your date of birth and your subjects.

हिंदी में सारांश

सीबीएसई ने 15 अक्टूबर 2026 तक 2027 की डेट शीट और एडमिट कार्ड (प्रवेश पत्र) जारी नहीं किए हैं। आमतौर पर एडमिट कार्ड फरवरी की शुरुआत से मध्य तक आते हैं, और 2027 की परीक्षाएं मध्य फरवरी से होने की उम्मीद है। नियमित छात्रों के एडमिट कार्ड स्कूल डाउनलोड करता है, प्राचार्य उस पर हस्ताक्षर करते हैं और छात्र को देते हैं। प्राइवेट छात्र cbse.gov.in से आवेदन संख्या से स्वयं डाउनलोड करते हैं। स्कूलों के लिए एलओसी की सामान्य अंतिम तिथि 21 अक्टूबर 2026 है और सुधार 2 से 4 नवंबर 2026 तक होगा। कक्षा 10 के लिए 2026 से दो बोर्ड परीक्षाएं हैं: फरवरी वाली अनिवार्य और मई वाली वैकल्पिक, जिसमें 3 विषयों तक सुधार किया जा सकता है।

How regular students get the admit card

  1. CBSE releases admit cards to schools through the affiliated schools login on its website.
  2. The school downloads the admit cards for all its students.
  3. The principal signs each card, and the school issues it to the student.
  4. You check the details and report any error to the school at once.

A regular student does not need to download anything. If your friends say "the link is out" but your school has not given cards yet, wait for the school; the school is the official route for you.

How private candidates get the admit card

Private candidates (for example, those repeating a subject or appearing again after a previous attempt) do not have a school to collect the card from. They download it themselves from cbse.gov.in using their application number and login credentials from the private candidate form.

  • Private applications for 2027 are open until 23 October 2026, according to news reports.
  • Save your application number, password and the confirmation page now, in at least two places.
  • If you forget your login, our admit card download guide has general recovery steps.
Stay safe. Government jobs are never sold. Ignore anyone who asks for money for selection, an appointment letter or a 'setting'. Check every notice on the official site of the commission or board; job links on social media can be fake.

Two board exams for Class 10: what changes

From the 2026 exams onward, Class 10 has two board exams, according to news reports (IANS, June 2025; Kashmir Life, July 2026):

  • Phase 1 (mid-February): compulsory for all students.
  • Phase 2 (May): optional, for improving up to 3 subjects. Compartment candidates may also sit it.
  • Internal assessment is done only once.

In 2026 the main exam ran from 17 February to 11 March, the second exam ran from 15 to 21 May with 6,64,027 registered, and its result was out by 18 July 2026. If you register for the second exam, check the CBSE circular for how its admit card will be issued. Class 12 still has a single board exam plus a supplementary exam.

What to check on your CBSE admit card

  • Your name and your parents' names, matching the LOC.
  • Date of birth.
  • Photo and signature.
  • Roll number.
  • Subjects and subject codes.
  • Exam centre name and address.
  • The principal's signature, for regular students.

Carry the original admit card to every paper, read the instructions printed on it, and keep it safe after the exams because you need the roll number for the result on cbseresults.nic.in.

Questions and answers

CBSE admit card 2027 kab aayega?

No date has been announced. CBSE admit cards usually come out in early to mid February, shortly before the board exams, which are expected from mid-February 2027. The 2027 date sheet itself was not released as of 14 October 2026. Wait for the official notice on cbse.gov.in and ask your school.

CBSE 10th admit card kaise download kare?

Regular Class 10 students do not download it. Your school downloads the card from the CBSE affiliated-schools login, the principal signs it, and the school hands it to you. Private candidates download their own card from cbse.gov.in using their application number and login details once CBSE releases the cards.

How do CBSE private candidates get the admit card?

Private candidates download the admit card themselves from cbse.gov.in with their application number and credentials. Applications for 2027 are open until 23 October 2026, as reported. Save your application number and password safely, because without them you cannot log in when the admit cards are released.

Is there a separate admit card for the CBSE Class 10 second exam?

The May exam is a separate sitting that students register for, so check its admit card instructions in the CBSE circular closer to May. It is optional and lets you improve up to 3 subjects; compartment candidates may also take it. Check the circular for that exam on cbse.gov.in when it is announced.

My name is wrong on the CBSE admit card. What should I do?

Tell your school immediately. The admit card is printed from the LOC data your school submitted, so the fix goes through the school. The best time to prevent errors is now: ask to see your LOC entry before the correction window of 2 to 4 November 2026 closes.

What is the CBSE LOC last date for 2027?

According to news reports, the normal last date for schools to submit the List of Candidates is 21 October 2026. From 22 to 30 October it can be submitted with a late fee of Rs 2,000. Corrections are allowed from 2 to 4 November 2026. This is a school task, but students should check their own entries.
