In a bid to speed up the process of publication of results,the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations has decided to centralise the evaluation process of ICSE and ISC answer scripts from 2010. The council is also introducing e-registration of candidates appearing in the 2011 ICSE and ISC examinations.

About 250 schools in West Bengal,mostly in Kolkata and suburbs,are affiliated to the Council.

Currently,teachers are allowed to take the answer sheets to their home for correction and submit it to their head examiners within a given time period. But under the new system,the teachers would not be allowed to carry the answers scripts home. Instead,they will evaluate them at a designated centre during a 10-day period.

To modernise the exam system,the Council plans to enable the schools to electronically register students for the 2011 ICSE/ISC examinations.

The Council has also advised schools to grant duty leave to teachers selected for marking scripts. The schools,however,are not entirely happy. While some schools point out that this will hamper the academic activities,Council official insisted they would not require more than two teachers per schools.
