ICSE board to conduct ‘One Exam for ICSE 2023, Syllabus Revised

Alike CBSE, Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (ICSE) will also conduct ‘One Examination’ for the ICSE & ISC board 2023 examination instead of the ‘2 Semester Examination’ pattern.

As Covid-19 situation eases, ICSE returns to ‘One Examination’

On the lines of the CBSE board, the ICSE board had introduced 2 stage examinations for the ICSE & ISC board examination for the year 2022 due to the unprecedented situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. While CBSE had conducted Class 10 and class 12 examinations in 2 terms, ICSE had also organized ICSE & ISC examinations in 2 semesters. Now when the Covid-19 pandemic has diluted and normalcy is returning fast, the ICSE board has decided to return to its previous practice of conducting ‘One Examination’ instead of a 2-semester examination pattern.

ICSE in its circular to all the heads of the schools has informed that “The CISCE has decided to conduct only ONE EXAMINATION at the end of the Academic Year 2023 at both ICSE & ISC levels”. The CISCE proposes to hold the said examinations tentatively in the months of February/ March 2023.

ICSE in its circular has stated that “Please note the Syllabus for the ICSE & ISC Year 2023 Examination has been revised in select subjects. The revised syllabus is available on the CISCE website, under the Publication Section”.
