Following protests by parents, the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), which conducts ISC (Class XII )and ICSE (Class X) exams, has given two options to its students for the pending exams. Students can either appear for the exams scheduled from July 1 or accept the marks of the pre-boards/internal examinations conducted by the schools.
As there was a lockdown due to the Covid-19-induced crisis, the board exams had to be postponed. The CISCE then decided to conduct the exams from July1 to 14. Concerned with the rising cases of Covid-19, parents had moved Mumbai high court asking for cancellation of the examination. There are eight ISC exams and six ICSE exam Each school has to inform the board about the option selected by the students by June 22. However, parents are not very happy. “For pre-boards, schools follow a strict evaluation process. Students also do not get much time to prepare. This notification will force students to appear for the exams,” rued Vijaya Mathur, a parent.
The next date of hearing is June 17.
