CBSE name correction

Our Special Correspondent

New Delhi: Students can now seek corrections to their name or date of birth as mentioned in their Central Board of Secondary Education mark sheet within five years of the declaration of results, compared to the previous one-year window. "Limitation of cases of correction in candidate, mother and father name/correction in date of birth has been revised," a board notification says. "Revised time limit will be 5 years from date of declaration of result and it will be applicable to all cases after Class X/XII 2015 examination onwards." In 2015, the board had introduced the one-year window. Before that, it did not impose any time limit, and hundreds applied years after passing their exams.
