ICSE, ISC Board Exams 2021: It seems that the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) are making efforts to finalise the dates for ICSE-Class 10 and ISC-Class 12 exam 2021, and developments are hinting at the board exams being scheduled in the month of April or May. In its attempt to get a clarity on the board examination, the Chief Executive and Secretary Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has written to the Chief Election Commissioner of India to share the poll schedule of the States where elections are due in April and May so the date sheet for board exams can be finalised accordingly.

What are the concerns raised? The update was shared by Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive of CISCE, who said, “With the students physically attending school, this time will be utilised for practical work, project work, SUPW work and for doubt clearing lessons. This will be extremely beneficial to the students who will now get the time to interact directly with their teachers,” he added. On reopening of the schools, the schools will be asked to follow state government protocols related to Covid-19 and conform to the safety guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus. There was also request made to the Chief Election Commissioner of India to share the election dates of the States that are due to have their elections in the months of April-May next year. “This will enable CISCE to finalise the schedules for ICSE-Class 10 and ISC-Class 12 year 2021 examinations and to ensure that there are no clash of dates, interruption of the examinations or any inconvenience that may be faced by the candidates taking these examinations,” he added. This hints at the council preparing the schedule of the board exams in the said months. What’s the current status of schools? Schools across the country were closed in March to contain the spread of COVID-19 and partially reopened in some States from October 15. However, a few States decided to keep them closed in view of a spike in infections. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) too is yet to take a decision on the schedule for conducting board exams next year. However, the board has ruled out conducting online exams and has clarified that the board exams will be in pen and paper mode only.
