The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) will announce Class 12 or Indian School Certificate (ISC) exam results by July 20, sources said. Following the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), the CISCE had earlier this month decided to scrap 12th board exams. According to sources, the council will use Class 11 and Class 12 internal marks for the assessment. It will also consider the best marks from 2015 to 2020.
Meanwhile, the CBSE will submit its assessment criteria for Class 12 students before the Supreme Court of India tomorrow. The top court had granted the board two weeks of time to place the criteria on record.
Earlier this month, the CBSE had also asked schools to complete pending practicals and internals online and upload marks by June 28. This means CBSE Class 12 board exam results will not be announced before July.
On June 1, the CBSE cancelled their Class 12 final exams, following a high-level meeting chaired by PM Modi. Soon after, the CISCE had announced that ISC exams have been cancelled.
"The exams have been cancelled. The alternative assessment criteria will be announced soon," board secretary Gerry Arathoon had said.
The council had also said students will be given a chance to appear in the exam, if they wish to, on a later date. Class 10 or ICSE board exams were cancelled earlier.
