ICSE/ISC Board Exam 2021: Last Year's CISCE's Assessment Scheme
Earlier, CISCE in an official notification said that “Due to COVID situation, the board will take a decision regarding ICSE Class X and ISC Class XII year 2021 examination and will inform all concerned at the earliest.” The parents and students expect CISCE to reconsider ICSE, ISC exam 2021 and take the decision as per the CBSE and other state boards. Now, CISCE has postponed class 10th exams. None of the boards, barring the IB board, has cancelled the 12th exams. In 2020, CISCE had to cancel board exams and had adopted a unique assessment scheme to promote students. CISCE's assessment scheme included three parameters:
- An average of a student’s best three papers marks in the CISCE board examination
- Subject project
- Percentage of subject internal assessment for class 10 or project and practical work for class 12.
A total of 2,341 schools in India and abroad are affiliated to CISCE for the ICSE exams. Over 3 lakh students appear for CISCE board exams every year. This includes both class 10th and 12th students. In 2020, a total of 2,07,902 candidates appeared for ICSE exams. Out of these 2.06 lakh had cleared the exam.
