The curriculum is reduced for various subjects for the ICSE and ISC examinations. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the board has reduced the syllabus because of the disruption in educational activities.

Additionally, the semester-wise syllabus (theory) for Class 10 and Class 12 is currently available on the CISCE website- cisce.org, under the ‘Publications’ tab.

Giving an update on the question paper for each semester, CISCE informed that the exam would be base on 80 marks for Class 10 and 70 marks for Class 12. 

Along with the theory paper, CISCE will also hold practical exams for students. If the situation is favourable, practical exams could be in schools. If not, they would take place via virtual mode. For practical's, schools would require to upload the marks of students. They have to keep a record of all work done by a student for practical's and internal assessment. If need be, the board can ask the respective school to send samples of work done by students.
