Candidates who are not satisfied with the result can apply for a recheck and sit for the improvement exams. In 2024, CISCE discontinued compartment exams. Instead, they had introduced the re-evaluation of answer scripts and improvement exams for students who wish to improve their marks in the same year of the examination. The CISCE improvement exams can be taken in a maximum of three subjects.
CISCE has released ICSE and ISC results 2026 through its official websites and DigiLocker. Candidates can log in using their credentials to access digital marksheets. Schools can download tabulation registers through the CISCE CAREERS portal for institutional use.

After completion of the recheck process, ICSE candidates will be able to apply for re-evaluation of answer scripts. This process will be conducted online through the official CISCE portal following the recheck stage.
ISC Class 12 candidates will be able to appear for improvement examinations scheduled in June and July 2026. The schedule has been released as part of the post-result process to allow candidates to improve their scores.
A combined total of over 3.6 lakh candidates appeared for ICSE and ISC examinations in 2026. This includes 2,58,721 candidates in Class 10 and 1,03,316 candidates in Class 12 across affiliated schools.
In ICSE Class 10 exams 2026, 1,313 candidates with learning difficulties appeared. Out of these, 132 candidates secured above 90%. A total of 54 visually challenged candidates appeared, with 17 scoring above 90%.
Students can download digital marksheets for ICSE and ISC results 2026 immediately after result declaration. Access is available through the official CISCE website and DigiLocker using login credentials.
The ISC Class 12 examination 2026 covered 45 written subjects. These included 13 Indian languages, 2 foreign languages, and 2 classical languages as part of the examination framework.

In ISC Class 12 results 2026, Scheduled Tribe candidates recorded a pass percentage of 98.84%. A total of 3,786 ST candidates appeared for the examination.

CISCE discontinued the ISC Class 12 compartment examination starting from 2024. As a result, students who fail one or more subjects in the ISC 2026 result have no same-year supplementary route available. They must reappear for the complete ISC board examination in the next session. Online registration for the 2027 ISC examination cycle will open in July–August 2026. This is a significant structural difference from CBSE, which continues to offer compartment exams for Class 12 students in July.
Students who wish to apply for rechecking of their ICSE 2026 answer sheets must do so through the CISCE Service Portal within four days of result declaration. The link is available under the Public Services tab on cisce.org. The fee is Rs 1,000 per subject, payable online. CISCE accepts no late applications — the four-day window is a hard deadline. Students can also authorise their School Head to file recheck requests on their behalf through the CAREERS portal. All recheck results are posted together on the CISCE website once the review is complete.
CISCE does not print a percentage figure on the ISC Class 12 marksheet. The official formula for computing ISC percentage is: add the marks in the three highest-scoring subjects and English, divide by four, and multiply by one hundred. This four-subject formula is CISCE's standard and must be used when filling college applications or university admission forms that ask for ISC percentage. Students who calculate using all subjects, or a different combination, will arrive at an incorrect figure that does not match the board's official methodology.
CISCE distributes official printed passing certificates to affiliated schools within 10 to 15 days of result declaration. Students must collect this certificate from their school — it is not mailed or couriered directly to individual students. In the interim period between the April 30 result declaration and the physical certificate's availability at school, the digital marksheet from results.cisce.org or DigiLocker serves as the primary valid document for Class 11 or undergraduate college admissions and document verification.
CISCE does not publish an official toppers list for either ICSE Class 10 or ISC Class 12. The board discontinued this practice in recent years, stating that publicly ranking students by aggregate score contributes to academic pressure. In 2024 and 2025, no official merit list was released with the result. The last year CISCE released an official ISC merit list was 2023, in which five students jointly held Rank 1 — three of them girls. Subject-specific merit certificates may be issued separately for top performers at the subject level.

The ICSE Class 10 marksheet issued by CISCE carries the student's name, Unique ID, Index Number, school name, exam year, subject-wise marks for both the external examination and internal assessment, total marks, and pass or fail status. Crucially, the 2026 marksheet carries a QR code and an official CISCE seal, making it machine-verifiable by educational institutions. Digital marksheets available through results.cisce.org and DigiLocker carry the same QR code and are accepted for admissions across India.
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, girls recorded a pass percentage of 99.37% while boys stood at 98.84% — a gap of 0.53 percentage points. In 2024, the gap was similarly narrow. Female students have consistently outperformed their male counterparts in ICSE Class 10 results across multiple examination years. CISCE releases gender-wise statistics as part of its official result data alongside every declaration, and the 2026 gender-wise breakdown is now part of the official result release today.
Haryana was one of the highest-performing states in both CISCE examinations in 2025, with ICSE students recording 99.81% and ISC students recording 99.90%. Uttar Pradesh recorded 98.40% in ICSE and 98.82% in ISC in 2025. In Andhra Pradesh, 5,310 ICSE students appeared with a 99.42% pass rate, while 530 ISC students appeared with 99.06%. Complete state-wise pass percentages for 2026 are published as part of CISCE's official result data released today on cisce.org.

In the ISC Class 12 Result 2025, the Southern region topped all regions with a pass percentage of 99.76%, followed by the Western region at 99.72%. At the state level, Kerala was the top performing state with a perfect 100% pass rate in ISC 2025. Tamil Nadu followed at 99.97% and Maharashtra at 99.81%. Southern and western states have consistently dominated CISCE's state-level performance rankings across multiple years in both ICSE and ISC examinations.
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, the Western region of India recorded the highest pass percentage at 99.83%, followed by the Southern region at 99.73%, the Northern region at 98.78%, the Eastern region at 98.70%, and the North Eastern region at 98.67%. The Foreign region recorded the lowest figure at 93.39%. At the state level, Tamil Nadu led with 99.95%, followed by Kerala at 99.94% and Maharashtra at 99.90%. Region and state-wise data for 2026 is part of CISCE's statistical release today.
Students will be able to submit requests to recheck ICSE and ISC results from May 1 to 4.
The Tabulation register can be accessed on the Careers portal of CISCE for the schools to view and print. The schools will be able to access the Tabulation Register by logging in to the Careers Portal, using the school Principal's login ID and password.
The ISC Class 12 pass percentage has shown steady improvement: 98.19% in 2024 and 99.02% in 2025. In 2024, 99,901 students appeared, of whom 98.92% girls and 97.53% boys cleared the exam. In 2025, 99,551 students appeared, with pass rates of 99.45% for girls and 98.64% for boys — an improvement across all categories. The 2026 result figure, now available on results.cisce.org, will establish whether the upward trend has been maintained into a third consecutive year.
In the ISC Class 12 Result 2025, female students recorded a pass percentage of 99.45% compared to 98.64% for male students — a difference of 0.81 percentage points. This gender gap was more pronounced in ISC than in ICSE in 2025. The trend of girls outperforming boys in both CISCE board examinations has held across every recent year of results. In 2024 ISC, 98.92% girls passed versus 97.53% boys. CISCE has confirmed that similar gender-wise disaggregation will be included in the 2026 result statistics released today.
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, girls recorded a pass percentage of 99.37% while boys stood at 98.84% — a gap of 0.53 percentage points. In 2024, the gap was similarly narrow. Female students have consistently outperformed their male counterparts in ICSE Class 10 results across multiple examination years. CISCE releases gender-wise statistics as part of its official result data alongside every declaration, and the 2026 gender-wise breakdown is now part of the official result release today.
CISCE does not publish an official toppers list for either ICSE Class 10 or ISC Class 12. The board discontinued this practice in recent years, stating that publicly ranking students by aggregate score contributes to academic pressure. In 2024 and 2025, no official merit list was released with the result. The last year CISCE released an official ISC merit list was 2023, in which five students jointly held Rank 1 — three of them girls. Subject-specific merit certificates may be issued separately for top performers at the subject level.
The ICSE Class 10 board consistently records among the highest pass percentages of any school board in India. In 2025, the overall pass rate was 99.09%, down marginally from 99.47% in 2024. In 2023, the figure was 96.26%. The 2025 figure covered 2,52,557 students of whom 2,50,249 were declared pass. CISCE's consistently high pass rates reflect both the academic profile of students enrolled in ICSE-affiliated private schools and the board's structured internal assessment component, which contributes 20 marks per subject to the final score.
The SMS service for checking ICSE and ISC results is available on result day. To check ICSE Class 10 results, students send "ICSE" followed by a space and their seven-digit Unique ID to 09248082883. For ISC Class 12 results, the format is "ISC" followed by a space and the seven-digit UID, sent to the same number — 09248082883. This service is particularly useful for students in areas with limited internet connectivity or during peak portal congestion immediately after the result announcement.
For the ISC Class 12 Result 2026, students must log in to results.cisce.org and navigate to the ISC section. The required credentials are the Index Number, Unique ID, and date of birth as recorded on the admission card. School heads and administrators can access batch-level result data for their students through CISCE's separate CAREERS portal, which is the board's dedicated institutional access platform. Individual student credentials are not shared through the CAREERS portal.
To retrieve the ICSE Class 10 Result 2026 from results.cisce.org, students must enter their seven-digit Unique ID, their Index Number, and a captcha code. CISCE does not use a roll number system for result access. Both credentials are printed on the student's admit card issued before the examination. Students who have misplaced their admit card must contact their school to retrieve these details. The same portal allows students to select "ICSE" from a dropdown to navigate directly to the Class 10 result section.
CISCE has explicitly stated that the ICSE and ISC 2026 results will be available only through the official online portals — results.cisce.org and cisce.org — and will not be provided at CISCE offices in person under any circumstances. Both portals are expected to go live simultaneously at the time of the result announcement. Students can also access results through the UMANG app and DigiLocker, both of which carry officially verified and legally valid digital marksheets from CISCE.
CISCE has progressively moved the result declaration date earlier over the past three years. In 2023, both ICSE and ISC results were declared on May 14. In 2024, the date shifted to May 6. In 2025, results came on April 30 at 11:00 AM. The April 30, 2026, target — if met — would match the earliest declaration date in the examination's recent history, continuing the board's pattern of accelerating its evaluation and result processing timeline year on year.
In the days before the scheduled April 30 declaration, a notice circulated widely on social media platforms claiming the ICSE result would be released on April 22, 2026. CISCE clarified that this notice was unverified and did not originate from the board. The only authorised source for result-related communication is CISCE's official channels — cisce.org and the board's verified social media handles. CISCE has not released a formal notification fixing the exact result date and time, with only a senior official's verbal confirmation of the April 30 deadline on record.
CISCE publishes a detailed statistical breakdown alongside the result declaration every year. This includes overall pass percentages for ICSE and ISC separately, gender-wise pass percentages for girls and boys, region-wise performance across India's six major CISCE regions, state-level pass percentages, and category-wise data including OBC, SC, and ST candidates. All this data is released officially as part of the April 30 announcement and is available in PDF format on cisce.org.
With over 2.6 lakh ICSE students and approximately 1 lakh ISC students accessing results simultaneously, results.cisce.org is likely experiencing server congestion in the minutes following the April 30 declaration. Students facing slow loading or timeout errors can use DigiLocker (digilocker.gov.in) or the UMANG app as active alternatives — both platforms carry officially verified digital marksheets issued directly by CISCE and are hosted on independent infrastructure from the primary results portal.
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) will declared the ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 results for 2026 tomorrow, April 30, 2026, on its official portal results.cisce.org. The declaration matches the timeline from 2025, when both results were announced on April 30 at 11:00 AM. Students can access their scorecards using their Unique ID and Index Number on results.cisce.org and cisce.org. The DigiLocker and UMANG app links are also now active for result access.
The ICSE Class 10 board consistently records among the highest pass percentages of any school board in India. In 2025, the overall pass rate was 99.09%, down marginally from 99.47% in 2024. In 2023, the figure was 96.26%. The 2025 figure covered 2,52,557 students of whom 2,50,249 were declared pass. CISCE's consistently high pass rates reflect both the academic profile of students enrolled in ICSE-affiliated private schools and the board's structured internal assessment component, which contributes 20 marks per subject to the final score.
The SMS service for checking ICSE and ISC results is available on result day. To check ICSE Class 10 results, students send "ICSE" followed by a space and their seven-digit Unique ID to 09248082883. For ISC Class 12 results, the format is "ISC" followed by a space and the seven-digit UID, sent to the same number as specified by the Board. This service is particularly useful for students in areas with limited internet connectivity or during peak portal congestion immediately after the result announcement.
Ahead of the April 30 declaration, DigiLocker posted on its official social media handle confirming that ICSE and ISC results 2026 will be made available on the platform shortly. DigiLocker's notice is widely regarded in education circles as one of the most reliable pre-result signals, as the platform coordinates directly with CISCE for backend integration before going live. Once the result is declared, students can access their marksheet on DigiLocker without a separate roll number — only their Aadhaar-linked mobile credentials are required.
For the ISC Class 12 Result 2026, students must log in to results.cisce.org and navigate to the ISC section. The required credentials are the Index Number, Unique ID, and date of birth as recorded on the admission card. School heads and administrators can access batch-level result data for their students through CISCE's separate CAREERS portal, which is the board's dedicated institutional access platform. Individual student credentials are not shared through the CAREERS portal.
The ISC Class 12 board examinations 2026 were conducted from February 12 to April 6, 2026, across two exam shifts — a morning session and an afternoon session. In 2025, approximately 99,551 students appeared for the ISC examination. CISCE has not released the exact number of ISC 2026 registrants ahead of result declaration, but this figure will be part of the official statistical release when the result is announced alongside aggregate pass percentages on April 30.
The ICSE Class 10 board examinations 2026 were conducted from February 17 to March 30, 2026. Approximately 2.6 lakh students appeared for the exam this year across CISCE-affiliated schools in India and at international centres. For context, 2,52,557 students appeared for the ICSE Class 10 exams in 2025 and 2,43,617 in 2024. The 2026 cohort represents continued year-on-year growth in ICSE registrations, with the result expected on results.cisce.org by April 30.
Candidates who are not satisfied with their result after the declaration can apply for re-evaluation of answer scripts for particular subject(s). They will need to apply online within three days of the declaration of their respective result.
Students who make a request for re-evaluation of their answer scripts will be required to pay a non-refundable fee per subject. The payment and application process will be online.

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) had announced the cancellation of the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) board examinations scheduled at all centres in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The cancellation of Classes 10 and 12 comes amid the current security situation in the Middle East. The CISCE results will be processed on a mechanism which might include the internal and practical examinations conducted by the schools.
The ISC and ICSE results 2025 were declared on April 30, 2025, at 11 am through a press conference, with CISCE chief executive Joseph Emmanuel confirming the figures publicly. Emmanuel stated: "Candidates and stakeholders can check the results using the CISCE website, DigiLocker, or the CAREERS portal of the board." The 2026 result is expected to follow the same format — a formal morning press conference by CISCE followed by the simultaneous activation of result links across official portals by April 30, 2026.
The last time CISCE released an official ISC Class 12 merit list was 2023, in which five students jointly held the Rank 1 position — three of the five were girls. Since 2024, CISCE has not released any official merit or toppers list for either ICSE or ISC, consistent with its stated policy of reducing academic pressure through ranking-based comparisons. In 2024 and 2025, media and individual schools reported unofficial high scorers, but none of these were verified or endorsed by CISCE.
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, category-wise data showed that OBC candidates recorded a pass percentage of 99.13 per cent. As many as 61,919 students from the OBC category had appeared for the exams.
CISCE publishes category-wise statistics as part of its official result release. Full category-wise data of the 2026 results will be also be published by CISCE as part of its official statistical release on result day.
At the state level in 2025, Haryana recorded particularly strong performances in both examinations. ICSE Class 10 students from Haryana achieved a pass percentage of 99.81 per cent, while ISC Class 12 students in the state recorded 99.90 per cent.
Students can access their results on the following websites once it is declared:
- cisce.org
- results.cisce.org
Ahead of the ICSE and ISC Results 2026 declaration, CISCE posted an official message on its social media channels urging students to stay calm. The board stated that the period before results is not a time to worry, and encouraged students to approach it with confidence and hope.
The ISC Class 12 result has shown an improving trajectory over the last two years. In 2024, the overall pass percentage stood at 98.19 per cent, with 98.92 per cent girls and 97.53 per cent boys clearing the exam out of 99,901 students who appeared. In 2025, this improved to 99.02 per cent overall, with 99.45 per cent girls and 98.64 per cent boys passing from 99,551 students.
Over 4 lakh students had appeared for the ICSE Class 10 board examinations 2026, making it the largest cohort in the history of the examination. In 2025, a total of 2,52,557 students appeared.
The CISCE results can also be downloaded on these platforms in case the official websites crash due to high traffic:
- DigiLocker
- UMANG
ISC and ICSE students have the provison of getting their answer sheets evaluated again. Those who are not satisfied with their result after the declaration can apply for re-evaluation of answer scripts for particular subject(s). They will need to apply online within three days of the announcement of their respective result.
The recheck of CISCE answer scripts will be restricted only to check whether:
- all the answers have been marked
- there has been mistake in the totalling of marks for each question in the subject/ paper and marks correctly onto the first cover page of the answer script
- the continuation sheets attached to the answer scripts, as mentioned by the candidates, are intact
Students who are not satisfied with the CISCE 2026 result will be able to apply online for recheck of answer scripts and the same must be received by the CISCE's office not later than four days from the day of declaration of the ICSE and ISC 2026 main examination results.
CISCE has not yet announced a tentative date for ICSE and ISC 2026 result declaration. However, as per a senior official, the result will be out in April.
Once declared, the ICSE 2026 and ISC 2026 results will be available on the two official CISCE portals: cisce.org and results.cisce.org. Both links are expected to go live simultaneously at the time of announcement. Results will not be provided at CISCE offices — the board has explicitly stated that online access through official websites is the only available channel. Students can also access their results through DigiLocker and the UMANG app, both of which carry officially verified digital marksheets.
In the ISC Class 12 Result 2025, female students recorded a pass percentage of 99.45% compared to 98.64% for male students — a gap of 0.81 percentage points. The gender-wise gap was more pronounced in ICSE Class 10 2025, where girls achieved 99.37% against boys' 98.84%. In both examinations and across multiple years, female students have consistently outperformed male students in CISCE board results. CISCE chief executive Joseph Emmanuel confirmed the 2025 figures at the official result press conference.
CISCE offers two pathways for rechecking applications post-result. Individual students can log in to the CISCE Service Portal using their registered email ID and password to apply. New users must register through the Register Now link on the same page. Alternatively, the Head of School can initiate recheck requests on behalf of students through the CAREERS portal, which is the board's dedicated school-facing administrative platform. Both routes lead to the same outcome — the revised or confirmed marks are posted together on the CISCE website after all rechecks are processed.
Students who wish to apply for rechecking of their ICSE or ISC 2026 answer sheets can do so through the CISCE Service Portal, accessible via the Public Services tab on cisce.org. The registration window for rechecking opens shortly after result declaration and remains open for approximately four days — no late applications are accepted. The fee for rechecking is Rs 1,000 per subject, payable online. All recheck results are published together on the CISCE website once the review process is complete.
CISCE discontinued the ISC Class 12 compartment examination from 2024 onwards. This means students who fail one or more subjects in the ISC 2026 result have no supplementary or compartment route available to them in the same academic year. They can reappear for the complete ISC board examination in 2027. Online registration for the 2027 examination is expected to open in July–August 2026. This marks a significant structural difference between ISC and boards such as CBSE, which continue to offer compartment exams.
The ICSE Class 10 Improvement Examination 2026 is expected to be conducted between July 1 and 14, 2026, in pen-and-paper format. The improvement exam is available to students who have passed the main ICSE examination but wish to improve their scores in one or more subjects. Unlike compartment exams at other boards, the ICSE improvement exam is a separate formal examination window — not a remedial mechanism for failed students. Students interested in appearing must register through the CISCE portal after the main result is declared.
After ICSE and ISC results 2026 are declared on the official CISCE portals, the formal passing certificate is not immediately available. CISCE releases passing certificates to schools within 10 to 15 days of result declaration, from where students can collect them. The digital marksheet available online and through DigiLocker serves as the primary proof of performance in the interim period. For ICSE specifically, the online marksheet carries official validity, allowing students to use it for admissions during this window.
The ISC Class 12 percentage is not a simple aggregate of all subjects. CISCE's official formula for calculating the ISC percentage involves adding the marks obtained in the three highest-scoring subjects and the marks in English, then dividing the total by four and multiplying by one hundred. This four-subject formula is the basis on which the ISC percentage is officially computed and reported. Students who calculate their percentage using all subjects or a different combination may arrive at a different and incorrect figure.
To pass the ICSE Class 10 board examination 2026, students must score a minimum of 35% marks in each individual subject and achieve an aggregate of at least 33% across all subjects. The ICSE evaluation follows an 80:20 pattern — 80 marks are allotted to the external board examination and 20 marks to internal assessment. A student must pass both the theory and internal components separately. The official statement on the CISCE result page reads: "The pass marks for each subject is 35%."
CISCE does not publish an official toppers list for either ICSE Class 10 or ISC Class 12 examinations. The board discontinued this practice in recent years, citing a desire to reduce academic pressure and discourage unhealthy ranking-based competition among students. In 2025, CISCE also did not release a formal merit list alongside the results. Instead, the board shared statistical data including stream-wise and gender-wise pass percentages. Individual schools may announce their own top scorers separately.
In the ISC Class 12 Result 2025, the Southern region recorded the highest pass percentage at 99.76%, followed by the Western region at 99.72%. At the state level, Kerala achieved a perfect 100% pass rate in ISC Class 12 in 2025 — the highest among all states. Tamil Nadu followed with 99.97% and Maharashtra with 99.81%. These southern and western states have dominated CISCE's top-performing state rankings consistently across multiple years for both ICSE and ISC.
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, the Western region of India recorded the highest pass percentage at 99.83%, followed by the Southern region at 99.73%, the Northern region at 98.78%, the Eastern region at 98.70%, and the North Eastern region at 98.67%. The Foreign region recorded the lowest pass percentage at 93.39%. At the state level, Tamil Nadu emerged as the top performer with 99.95%, followed by Kerala at 99.94% and Maharashtra at 99.90%
In the ICSE Class 10 Result 2025, a total of 2,52,557 students appeared and 2,50,249 were declared pass — an overall pass percentage of 99.09%. This was a marginal decline from 2024, where the pass percentage stood at 99.47% with 2,43,617 students having appeared. In 2025, girls recorded a pass percentage of 99.37%, while boys stood at 98.84%. ICSE 2026 has drawn over 4 lakh registered students, making it the largest ICSE cohort yet.
In the ISC Class 12 Result 2025, a total of 99,551 students appeared for the examination, of whom 98,578 cleared it, recording an overall pass percentage of 99.02%. This was an improvement over the ISC 2024 result, in which 99,901 students appeared and the overall pass percentage stood at 98.19%. Girls outperformed boys in 2025 with a pass percentage of 99.45% against boys' 98.64%. The 2026 result, expected by April 30, will confirm whether the upward trajectory from 2024 to 2025 continues.
Students can also retrieve their ICSE Class 10 Result 2026 via SMS on result day. To use this facility, a student types "ICSE" followed by a space and their seven-digit Unique ID, then sends the message to 09248082883. For ISC Class 12 results, the format is "ISC" followed by the seven-digit UID, sent to the same number. This service is the same channel used in 2025 and remains the primary SMS access point for CISCE results.
To check the ICSE Class 10 Result 2026 on results.cisce.org, students need to enter their Unique ID (UID) and Index Number along with a captcha code. CISCE does not use a roll number system for result access, unlike several other boards. Both the UID and Index Number are printed on the student's admit card. A date of birth entry is also required at the login stage. Students who have misplaced their admit card will need to contact their school to retrieve these credentials.
Once declared, the ICSE 2026 and ISC 2026 results will be available on the two official CISCE portals: cisce.org and results.cisce.org. Both links are expected to go live simultaneously at the time of announcement. Results will not be provided at CISCE offices — the board has explicitly stated that online access through official websites is the only available channel. Students can also access their results through DigiLocker and the UMANG app, both of which carry officially verified digital marksheets.
The ISC Class 12 board examinations 2026 were conducted from February 12 to April 6, 2026. This is a longer examination window than ICSE Class 10, reflecting the broader spread of subjects and elective papers offered at the higher secondary level. Despite the later conclusion of ISC exams relative to ICSE, CISCE is expected to declare both results simultaneously — consistent with its practice in 2025, when both ICSE and ISC results were announced together on April 30 at 11 am.
The ICSE Class 10 board examinations 2026 were conducted from February 17 to March 30, 2026. The exams were held in offline, pen-and-paper mode across CISCE-affiliated schools in India and abroad. With the last paper having been held in late March, the gap between the end of examinations and the expected result declaration at the close of April stands at approximately four to five weeks — consistent with CISCE's evaluation and result processing timeline from previous years.
The ISC and ICSE results last year were declared on April 30, at 11 AM through a press conference, with CISCE chief executive Joseph Emmanuel present. The 2026 result is expected to follow the same format — a formal morning press conference by CISCE leadership followed by the simultaneous activation of result links across official portals by April 30, 2026.
A senior official of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) confirmed that the ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 results for 2026 will be declared by April 30, 2026. The official was quoted stating: "ICSE, ISC results will be announced by April 30." CISCE has not released a formal notice confirming an exact date or time, but the April 30 deadline is consistent with the timeline from 2025, when both results were declared on April 30 at 11 am.
Students who are marked absent in the Main CISCE board exams will not be allowed to appear for the Improvement Examinations. Those who have qualified, or not qualified or have reappeared for the exams in 2026 to improve their scores, are eligible to sit for the Improvement Exams.
Students who want to improve their scores in Class 12 ISC exam or Class 10 ICSE exams can appear for the Improvement Examinations.
Students who make a request for re-evaluation of their answer scripts will be required to pay a non-refundable fee per subject. The payment and application process will be online.
Candidates who are not satisfied with their result after the declaration can apply for re-evaluation of answer scripts for particular subject(s). They will need to apply online within three days of the declaration of their respective result.
CISCE has not yet officially announced a tentative date for result declaration. However, as per a senior official, the result will be out in April.
No, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) had clarified that the claims circulating on social media about the declaration of results on April 22 were rumours. CISCE advised the students to only rely on their official website for information regarding the board exams.
Those students who are not satisfied with their result after the announcement can apply for rechecking of their answer sheets. Students will need to apply online within four days of the declaration of their respective result.

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) had announced the cancellation of the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) and Indian School Certificate (ISC) board examinations scheduled at all centres in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The cancellation of Classes 10 and 12 comes amid the current security situation in the Middle East. The CISCE results will be processed on a mechanism which might include the internal and practical examinations conducted by the schools.
The official CISCE website is cisce.org.
As per the official statistics, the ICSE (Class 10) recorded a pass percentage of 99.09 per cent. For the ISC (Class 12) exams, the overall pass percentage stood at 99.02 per cent.
