CISCE had cancelled 6 papers of ICSE and 8 papers of ISC which were scheduled between 19th March to 31st March due to the COVID-19 outburst. It was later postponed to July, but due to the ongoing circumstances, it was decided that CISCE will declare the results opting for a new way of assessment. This is the reason why CISCE has not released the merit list this year.

The new way of assessment for ISC students was that the average of the best three subjects along with the percentage of marks obtained by students in projects and practical will be made in consideration for the marking of remaining papers. For ICSE, an average of best three subjects along with the percentage of marks of internal assessment will be the basis for the evaluation of remaining papers.

Further, if any student is not happy with the assessment, the option of giving a written examination will be available for them, once the situations gets in control. The window for rechecking is also open till July 16 at cisce.org only for the subjects whose exams were conducted.
