CISCE to conduct board exams in offline mode from November 12

Meanwhile, the council also released a revised date sheet according to which the ICSE exams for class 10 will begin from November 29 and for class 12 (ISC) from November 12. The first-term board exams for classes 10 and 12 will be conducted in offline mode.  The exams will conclude on December 16 and 20 respectively. Earlier, the CISCE had announced the postponement of first term exams citing reasons “beyond its control”. Earlier, the class 10 and 12 exams were scheduled to begin from November 15 and 16 respectively.

“The CISCE has been in receipt of numerous mails from heads of schools, parents and students who had expressed their difficulties and apprehensions if first-semester exam were to be conducted online,” said Gerry Arathoon, Chief Executive, CISCE. He stated the major reasons cited by students and parents for not conducting online exams were non-availability of devices, irregular power supply and network and bandwidth problems. “After much deliberations, we decided that the exams will be conducted in offline mode in their respective schools. Detailed guidelines will be announced shortly,” he added.

Students Demand Online Exams

To make their demands heard, students have started an online petition demanding that the upcoming board exams 2021-22 should either be canceled or held online. In the online petition on change.org, the students said, “Taking the exams offline (CBSE and CICSE) is a huge mistake. If you need more time to correct the online examination program, please do so. But risking students’ lives is absolutely not worth it.”

Underlining the importance of conducting board exams online, the petitioner said, “ICSE took the initiative to conduct the 2022 year-end exams for classes 10 and 12 using the term system. This system however was forced upon us.. and we had no choice. We as students and parents wonder, what exactly was the point of doing this? That too MONTHS after CBSE announced it… However, we went along with it, hoping for the best. In this announcement ICSE specifically stated the first term exams would be ONLINE + MCQ. This is a safer way of conducting exams which have been adopted by hundreds of universities and schools around the world.”
