The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has released the revised date sheet for the first-time board examinations for class 10 and 12. The exam will be conducted in offline mode.
As per the revised date sheet, the ICSE exam for class 10 will begin from November 29 and for class 12 (ISC) from November 12.
The exams will end on December 16 and 20, respectively.
Class 10 exam will be conducted from 11 am and class 12 exam will be conducted from 2 pm.
The council on Tuesday postponed the ICSE and Indian School Certificate ISC 2021-2022 semester A exams citing “reasons beyond their control”.
Earlier, the class 10 and 12 exams were scheduled to begin from November 15 and 16, respectively.
CISCE Chief Executive Gerry Arathoon said, “CISCE has received several mails from heads of schools, parents and students, who expressed their difficulties and apprehensions when the first semester examinations were conducted online.”
Arathoon said that non-availability of equipment, erratic power supply and network and bandwidth problems were among the major reasons cited by students and parents for not conducting online exams.
“After much deliberation, we decided that the exams will be conducted in offline mode in their respective schools. The detailed guidelines will be announced soon,” he said.
