SHUBHANGI SHIFA

Ranchi, Dec 2: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has released the schedule for the ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 board exams 2023. The ICSE Class 10 exams will be held from 27 February and ISC Class 12 will be held from 13 February. The date sheet for ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 board exams 2023 has been released on the CISCE official website, cisce.org.

The ISC Class 12 board exam will start on 13 February and continue till 31 March. The ISC board exam would begin at 2 pm and will end at 5 pm. Three hours would be given for every exam during the ISC Class 12 board exams. The ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 board exam results for 2023 will be declared in May 2023.

The council also announced that the results would be issued “through the Conveners to the Heads of Schools in the month of May 2023”.

“The council is trying to go back to the schedule it used to follow before the pandemic,” a school principal said.

After 2019, the last year before the onset of the Covid pandemic, this is the first time the council will conduct full-length exams for the students of both Class X and Class XII.

In 2020, the test in some of the papers could not be held because of the Covid-induced lockdown. The board exams were not held in 2021.

For the batch 2022, the council introduced a two-phase examination. The first phase was held in November and December and the second in April, May and June.

The council had earlier announced that next year it would go back to the pre-pandemic system of conducting one full-length exam.

Many schools have already planned their calendar and the pre-board exam schedule for these two classes.

Schools will try to finish their board practicals for the ISC exams by at least the first week of February, some school heads said. Notably, the last date for sending the marks of the ISC practicals to the council is February 28.
