The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has decided to postpone the Indian School Certificate (ISC) or Class 12 and Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examinations for November-December, 2021.
“The CISCE has decided to postpone the ICSE and ISC year 2021-2022 semester 1 examinations due to reasons beyond our control,” the board’s Chief Executive and Secretary Gerry Arathoon said.
The examination for ICSE semester was scheduled for 15 November to 6 December. However, ISC exams were scheduled for 15 November to 16 December.
Similar to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the CISCE board examination has been divided into two semesters. The new dates for the examination will be declared soon.
In fact, the CISCE examination for the first semester exams will be held online and second semester exams will be conducted online or offline mode.
The question papers will be 80/100 marks for ICSE and 70/80 marks for ISC. However, the board has reduced the syllabi for various subjects due to the pandemic and to reduce pressure from students.
