New Delhi, 01 June: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) on Tuesday cancelled its ISC exams for this year after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the cancellation of Class 12 board exams.
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations said that the class 12th board examinations for the academic year 2020-21 have been cancelled. The evaluation criteria for the students will be released soon. However, students who are not satisfied with the results of ISC class 12 will be given the opportunity to sit the examinations at a later date.
CISCE Chief Executive Gerry Arathoon said that Class 12 students will now be evaluated through an alternative plan. “The details will be worked out soon and will be available to you,” he said.
Earlier today, in a high-level meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government decided to cancel the Central Board of Secondary Education’s Class 12 board exams in a challenging environment in Corona, keeping in mind the opinion of the states and the concerned parties.
It is noteworthy that CISCE is made up of two boards. In this, 10th class examination is conducted under ICSE board and 12th class is under ISC board. The board has cancelled the 10th examinations in April itself.
