CBSE regional office finder

Which CBSE regional office handles my school, and which email or phone number should I use for my question?

Quick answer

CBSE runs 25 regional offices and 4 sub-regional offices, and the one you deal with depends on where the school is, not where you live. Most states have one office. Uttar Pradesh is split by district across Noida, Lucknow, Prayagraj and Dehradun, Haryana between Gurugram and Panchkula, and Delhi between Delhi East and Delhi West. Schools outside India go to Dubai. CBSE's own page lists West Bengal and Himachal Pradesh under two offices each, and four offices have no email printed yet.

Decide first

Should you write to the CBSE regional office yourself, or go through the school?[1]

  • Check first

    Still in school: ask the school first

    Registration, LOC data, attendance cases and most corrections reach CBSE through the school. Write yourself only if the school says the case is already with CBSE.

  • Do it now

    Left school, or the school has sent it on: email the section

    Use the section email the finder shows for your question, with the class, year and roll number in the subject line.

  • Get help

    No email printed for your office: call the helpline

    Agartala, Gangtok, Itanagar and Kolkata have no contacts on CBSE's page. Ask the school, or call the CBSE helpline, 011-24050336 to 011-24050342.

The steps, in order

  1. Find the office for the school's district

    Pick the state, and the district in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana or Delhi. Use the school's location, not your home address.[1]

    Have ready

    • The school's district
    • The school's name and school number
  2. Pick the section email for your question

    Most offices list separate addresses for exams and registration, for marks and migration (M&M) or correction, and for grievances. Where CBSE lists no section address, use the general email.[1]

    Have ready

    • What you need: exam, document or grievance
  3. Write one short mail

    Subject line: class, year of exam, roll number, the problem in five words. In the body: what is wrong, what it should say, and which document proves it.[1]

    Have ready

    • Roll number
    • Class and year of exam
    • Marksheet, admit card and any school letter as PDFs
  4. Wait, then call the section

    CBSE doesn't publish a reply time. We'd give it about ten working days, then call that section's number and quote the date of your mail.[1]

    Have ready

    • The date you sent the mail
    • The section's phone number from the finder
  5. Still stuck: the CBSE helpline

    CBSE's helpline numbers are 011-24050336 to 011-24050342. Have the roll number and the date of your mail ready.[1]

    Have ready

    • Roll number
    • Date of your mail

This finder runs in your browser and sends nothing anywhere. It never asks for your name or roll number. Every office, address, email and phone number is from CBSE's contact page, checked 10 October 2026. We leave out officers' names on purpose.

What goes wrong

Writing to the office near your home

What happens: In Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi your home and the school can fall under different offices.[1]

Fix: Use the school's district. A Ghaziabad home and an East Delhi school means Delhi East.

Mailing the regional officer's address about a marksheet

What happens: Most offices list a separate marks and migration or correction section; the officer's address is the general one.[1]

Fix: Use the section email the finder shows.

Copying an address from a forwarded message

What happens: Old or mistyped addresses bounce, and CBSE's own page prints a few with typos.[1]

Fix: Copy it from the finder, which takes each address from CBSE's page and shows the date we checked it.

Writing to the wrong one of two offices

What happens: CBSE's page lists West Bengal and Himachal Pradesh under two offices each.[1]

Fix: Ask the school which office its CBSE letters come from.

Variants: when the steps change

If this is youWhat changes
School outside IndiaAll CBSE schools abroad come under the Dubai office: rodubai@cbse.gov.in, +971-43972517.[1]
Tripura, Sikkim or Arunachal PradeshEach has a sub-regional office (Agartala, Gangtok, Itanagar), but CBSE's page prints no phone or email for them yet. Guwahati's block lists Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya and Mizoram only.[1]
Panchkula regionEvery row for Panchkula uses one address, ropanchkula.cbse@nic.in. The extension on 0172-2521500 tells the sections apart: 106 for exams, 115 or 116 for M&M, 103 for RTI and grievance.[1]

Why you might need your regional office

Most CBSE work goes through the school. You need the regional office yourself when the school can't fix something, or when you have already left it.

A marksheet or certificate shows the wrong name, date of birth or parent's name, and the school has already raised the request: the name and DOB correction finder shows which cases CBSE accepts. You need a printed duplicate marksheet, a migration certificate or a verification letter, and the DigiLocker copy won't do: start with the duplicate documents guide. An attendance shortage case can only be sent by the school, and it has to reach the regional office by 7 January (attendance calculator). Private candidates with a question about the exam centre or admit card can start from private candidates 2027.[1]

Answer-book inspection happens at the regional office

CBSE's June 2026 guidance note says students whose re-evaluation shows no change can inspect their answer books at the CBSE regional office. The re-evaluation page covers the scan, verification and re-evaluation steps before that.[2]

Your office depends on the school, not your home

A student who lives in Ghaziabad and studies at a school in East Delhi deals with Delhi East, not Noida. If you have already left school, use the office that covers the school you passed from. If you aren't sure which one that is, ask the school office; they deal with it every year.[1]

Tips and tricks

  • In UP, Haryana and Delhi, go by the school's district, not the nearest big city. Ghaziabad schools are under Noida, and Faridabad schools are under Gurugram, not Delhi.
  • For marksheet and certificate problems, write to the "marks and migration" (M&M) or correction section. CBSE's page lists that section separately for most offices.
  • Some offices print a Gmail address for a section on CBSE's own page. The finder shows only cbse.gov.in, nic.in and cbseshiksha.in addresses; for any other, copy it from CBSE's page, not from a forwarded message.
  • Save the office's email in your contacts as "CBSE RO <city>". A saved sender is less likely to end up in spam.
  • Don't send your Aadhaar number unless the office asks for it.

Questions people ask

How many CBSE regional offices are there?

CBSE's contact page lists 25 regional offices, including Dubai for schools abroad, and 4 sub-regional offices at Agartala, Gangtok, Itanagar and Shimla (checked 10 October 2026).[1]

Which CBSE regional office is my school under?

The one that covers the district where the school is. In most states that's one office for the whole state. Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi are split by district, so pick the district in the finder.[1]

What is the CBSE regional office email for marksheet correction or a duplicate marksheet?

Most offices have a marks and migration (M&M) or correction section with its own email. The finder shows it when you choose "Duplicate marksheet, migration, verification, name/DOB correction". Where an office lists no such section, it shows the general email.[1]

What is the CBSE helpline number?

CBSE's contact page lists 011-24050336 to 011-24050342. For exam and result stress, CBSE's June 2026 guidance note gives a free 24x7 tele-helpline, 1800-11-8004.[1]

My state shows two offices. Which one do I contact?

CBSE's page lists West Bengal under both Kolkata and Bhubaneswar, and Himachal Pradesh under both Panchkula and Shimla. Ask the school which office its CBSE letters come from and write to that one.[1]

Can I visit the regional office without an appointment?

CBSE's contact page does not say. We'd email first and go in person only if the office asks you to.[1]
