The CISCE said earlier that first semester exams would be conducted online and second semester exams would be conducted online or offline, depending on the situation regarding COVID-19 in the country.
For ICSE, the question papers will be worth 80/100 points, and for ISC, 70/80 points. The board had stated, however, that the weightage of marks to be used for final result computation will be reduced to half. In light of the academic disruption caused by COVID-19, the board has lowered the syllabi for a variety of topics.
