The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has released the revised date sheet for the first term board exams for class 10 and 12. The exams will be conducted in offline mode.
According to the revised date sheet, the ICSE exams for class 10 will begin from November 29 and for class 12 (ISC) from November 12.
The exams will conclude on December 16 and 20 respectively.
The class 10 exams will be held from 11 am and class 12 exams will be conducted from 2 pm.
The council on Tuesday postponed the ICSE and Indian School Certificate ISC 2021-2022 Semester one examination, citing “reasons beyond their control”.
Earlier, the class 10 and 12 exams were scheduled to begin from November 15 and 16 respectively.
“The CISCE has been in receipt of numerous mails from heads of schools, parents and students who had expressed their difficulties and apprehensions if first semester exam were to be conducted online,” said Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive, CISCE.
Arathoon said the major reasons cited by students and parents for not conducting online exams were non-availability of devices, irregular power supply and network and bandwidth problems.
“After much deliberations, we decided that the exams will be conducted in offline mode in their respective schools. Detailed guidelines will be announce shortly,” he added.
