Why the Extension is Helpful
This extension is good news for many students and schools. It provides extra days to gather all necessary documents and complete the application process without rushing.

The new deadline helps ensure that no student misses out on the chance to appear for the important **Class 10 Board exams**.
Important Steps for Students
Students planning to take the **MBOSE SLCE 2026** must take this deadline seriously. Missing the submission date means they might not be able to appear for their Class 10 Board exams. It is vital for every student to ensure their school has all the correct details and documents.
Here are crucial steps students should follow:
- Verify Personal Information: Double-check your name, your father's name, mother's name, date of birth, and address as recorded by the school. Any mistakes here could cause problems later.
- Confirm Subject Choices: Make sure the subjects you plan to take for the exam are correctly listed on your form.
- Provide Documents: Ensure you have given your school all required documents, such as your latest passport-size photograph, signature, and any other certificates asked for.
- Pay Fees on Time: Confirm with your school that the examination fee, along with the late fee of **Rs 400** (if applicable), has been paid to MBOSE.
- Stay in Touch: Keep in regular contact with your class teacher or school administration about the status of your form submission.
The **SLCE** is a key examination in India. It helps decide what courses students can pursue after Class 10. Getting the application process right is the first step towards a successful exam.
Application Process for Schools
School authorities have a big responsibility to ensure all student applications are sent to MBOSE correctly and on time. The Board has a special online system for schools to manage this. Schools are allowed to submit forms for many students together.
Here is a detailed, step-by-step process for school authorities:
- Access MBOSE Portal: School heads or authorized staff must log in to the "Examination Login" section on the official MBOSE website. They will use their school's unique username and initial password.
- Enter Student Data: For each student, schools need to fill in all personal and academic details carefully into the online system. This involves checking every piece of information against the documents provided by the students to ensure 100% accuracy. This helps avoid errors on admit cards and final mark sheets.
- Complete Fee Payment: After entering all student details, schools must complete the payment of examination fees for all students. The system will guide them through the online payment process. Remember, a late fee of **Rs 400** per student applies if submitting by **November 29, 2025**.
- Final Submission to Board: Once all details are entered and fees are paid, the school must formally submit this data to the MBOSE board. It is crucial to do this before the new final deadline of **November 29, 2025**.
- Download and Distribute Admit Cards: After MBOSE processes all submissions, schools will receive access to download the admit cards. These are important documents. Schools must then print and give these admit cards to each student. Students need their admit cards to enter the examination hall for the **SLCE 2026** exams.
This organized process helps ensure that all eligible students get their chance to take the board exams without any issues.
