On the one hand, while the dates for board exams have been announced in many states including CBSE board, on the other hand, students waiting for ICSE and ISC to announce the dates of board examinations for the year 2021 may have to wait a little longer. According to information received by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), the dates for the 10th and 12th board examinations will be announced after the announcement of the dates for the assembly elections in various states. However, the Council issued circulars to all affiliated schools in late January and directed to be prepared to conduct ICSE and ISC annual examinations during the month of February and March, just like every year.

Council head Gerry Arathoon, according to media reports, said that the schedule of exams for the 10th and 12th classes would be released as soon as the election dates were announced. The time-table for the subject-wise examination dates for both classes will be made within a day or two after the announcement of the election.

On the other hand, the final decision on the dates of practical examinations for practical subjects Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Indian Music and Fashion Designing will be taken only after discussion of the visiting examiner from the head of various examination centers and supervision of the center.

For the practical examinations, the schools will have to make different batches of candidates according to the capacity of the lab. A circular has also been issued by the Council to the heads of schools for this year’s practical examinations and question papers.
