NEW DELHI – The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is preparing to announce the results for the ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) examinations within the coming days. According to senior officials, the board is in the final stages of data compilation and result moderation. The announcement is expected to impact over 3 lakh students who appeared for the exams across India and overseas.
Transitioning to a Paperless Future
In a major push toward the “Digital India” initiative, CISCE has confirmed that it will prioritize digital delivery of results. While the official website cisce.org remains the primary source for real-time score updates, the board has strengthened its partnership with DigiLocker. This move ensures that students can access their legally valid, digitally signed marksheets, passing certificates, and migration certificates immediately upon the declaration of results.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using DigiLocker
To avoid the frustration of crashing websites during the peak result hour, students are encouraged to set up their accounts in advance:
-
Download & Register: Download the DigiLocker app from the Play Store or App Store and register using your Aadhaar number or a mobile number linked to your school records.
-
Select the Board: Under the ‘Education’ section, search for “Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations.”
-
Enter Details: Input your Index Number and Date of Birth as mentioned on your admit card.
-
Fetch Document: Once the results are live, the document will be fetched and stored in your ‘Issued Documents’ section for permanent access.
Emphasis on Holistic Evaluation
For the 2026 academic cycle, CISCE has introduced a more comprehensive marking scheme that gives significant weightage to analytical and application-based questions. The board aims to move away from rote learning, a shift that is expected to be reflected in the higher-than-average scores in subjects like Computer Applications and Environmental Science.
Support for Students
Understanding the anxiety associated with result day, the Council has set up a dedicated helpdesk to address queries related to technical glitches or result discrepancies. Additionally, schools have been instructed to provide counseling services to help students navigate their career choices following the ISC results.
“The wait is almost over,” said a CISCE spokesperson. “Our focus this year has been on ensuring a robust and error-free evaluation process that rewards critical thinking over traditional memorization.”
