 ICSE - INDIAN CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION

ICSE - INDIAN CERTIFICATE OF SECONDARY EDUCATION examination is conducted by CISCE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations) for class 10 students. This examination is conducted in the national level. These exams are conducted by the council in accordance to the Education policy India through English Medium.

Students can choose the subject of their interest and they will be tested in those selected subjects only.

However there are some compulsory subjects that they have to study, the subjects are - English, Social studies, they have to choose a second language.

Usually the ICSE exams commence in the last week of February and end in the last week of March every year. The results are declared by the Council in the month of May. (Note: Due to COVID-19 pandemic ICSE-2021 examination may delay)
