Who Submits the Form — and for Which Candidates
School heads submit the online forms — not students directly. The forms cover three candidate categories:
- School Regular
- Quasi Regular
- Ex-Regular
Students should coordinate with their school well before the deadline, since the submission action rests with school authorities.
Eligibility: School Regular, Quasi Regular and Ex-Regular
School Regular candidates: Students who passed Class 9 in 2025–26 and advanced to Class 10 can register as School Regular candidates.
Ex-Regular candidates: Candidates who appeared for the examination in 2014 or later can apply under the existing syllabus.
Quasi Regular candidates: The category is included in the board's registration instructions; students should confirm their eligibility status with their school. [VERIFY definition]
Examination Fee Structure
| Candidate Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| School Regular | ₹420 |
| Quasi Regular | ₹500 |
| Ex-Regular | ₹500 |
| Correspondence course (both categories) | ₹500 |
Fee exemption: SC and ST students in the School Regular category at government and government-aided schools are exempt from the fee.
What Students Should Check With Their School
Before the school submits the form, students should verify:
- Subject entries — confirm the subjects recorded are correct
- Permanent Education Number (PEN) — check accuracy
- Ex-Regular candidates must additionally provide:
- Previous roll number
- Enrolment number
- Last examination year
Correspondence Course Candidates: Offline Route
For correspondence-course candidates, the relevant regional office handles the form offline. These candidates should contact their regional office directly rather than relying on school-level online submission.
No Extension: What Schools Must Do Now
The board has stated it will not extend the 21 November 2026, 11:45 pm deadline. School heads should:
- Collect and verify student details (subjects, PEN) immediately.
- Confirm ex-regular candidates' previous roll number, enrolment number, and last examination year.
- Complete fee collection, including verifying SC/ST exemptions where applicable.
- Submit online forms well before the deadline to avoid last-day technical issues.
Official Portal and Next Steps
Schools should access the registration module through the Board of Secondary Education, Odisha official portal and follow the board's notification for submission steps and fee payment instructions.
Students and parents should follow up with their school to confirm submission status before 21 November 2026.
