About the ICSE / ISC (CISCE) exam

About the CISCE curriculum

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), New Delhi, sets the curriculum for Pre-school to Class VIII in its affiliated schools. In Classes I–II children study English, a Second Language, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Computer Studies and Arts Education, plus Physical Education and value education. The curriculum is theme-based: schools choose their own textbooks and assess children internally (there is no board exam at this level).

When it happens

The 2027 ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) timetable could not be verified on the official site during this check. School assessments for the other classes follow the school's timetable. Ask the school for the current circular and use CISCE's final subject-wise timetable and admit card once issued. Status checked 1 November 2026.

Registration and exam-day information
