The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations has announced that the remaining board examinations for ISC (class 12) and ICSE (class 10) will be conducted after the lockdown period ends.

In a press release issued on May 1, the CISCE announced the six subjects of ICSE are geography (H.C.G. paper 2), biology (science paper 3), economics, group III elective, Hindi and art paper 4. The pending ISC subjects are biology (paper 1), business studies, geography, sociology, psychology, home science (paper 1), elective English and art (paper 5).
The CISCE announced the examinations would be conducted within a period of six to eight days, including Saturday and Sunday. The council noted it would announce the examination schedule eight days prior to commencement of the examinations.
The CISCE said it would declare the examination results within a period of six to eight weeks after completion of the remaining papers.
The CISCE has informed schools may give provisional admission for ICSE students to class 11 and advised ISC students to start or continue with preparations for entrance examinations.
