New Delhi: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) on Tuesday cancelled the ISC board exams for Class 12 students soon soon after the Central government announced cancellation of CBSE Class 12 board exams. 

Speaking about the same, Dr G Immanuel, Chairman, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) to news agency ANI that Indian School Certificate (ISC) Board examinations (Class 12) have been cancelled, but final decision on compiling results is yet to be taken. 

"In view of the present situation of the Covid- 19 Pandemic in the country, the CISCE has decided to CANCEL the ISC (Class 12) Year 2021 examination. The safety, health and wellbeing of our students, teaching faculty and all stakeholders is our topmost priority and of paramount interest," CISCE said in a official order. 

"The results will be processed on a mechanism which will also include the internal examinations conducted by the schools. The schools will be informed in due course of time, of this mechanism," it added.

In case some students are not satisfied with the marks awarded to them after the declaration of the Class 12 results, the CISCE said it will give an option to such candidates to write the exams at a later date, when the situation is conducive to conduct the same.

The CICSE had last week asked its affiliated schools to submit data, including average of marks obtained by Class 12 students in Class 11 and during this session.

The board had postponed Class 12 exams which were scheduled from May 4 in light of the devastating second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
