Live Updates: April 25, 2026

12:12 PM IST – Expected Time of Release

Historically, CISCE releases results either in the morning session (11:00 AM) or the post-lunch session (3:00 PM). Keep your admit cards ready.

10:00 AM IST – Passing Criteria Reminder

For ICSE (10th), students must score at least 33% in each subject. For ISC (12th), the requirement is 35%. Notably, passing in English is mandatory for both classes.

08:30 AM IST – No More Compartment Exams

CISCE has moved away from the traditional compartment exam system. Students who fail to qualify in one or two subjects must now appear for the Improvement Exams, the dates for which will be notified post-result declaration.

Deep Analysis: Past Year Trends

The CISCE has consistently maintained a high pass percentage. In 2025, the ICSE pass rate was a staggering 99.47%, while ISC stood at 98.19%. Girls have traditionally outperformed boys in both categories. We expect a similar trend this year with a possible slight increase in the overall performance due to the revised internal assessment weightage (80% theory, 20% internal).

Important Note: The online result is a provisional marksheet. Students are required to collect their original hardcopy certificates and marksheets from their respective schools a few weeks after the online announcement.
