The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has cancelled the Class 10 ICSE exams in response to the rising COVID-19 cases in the country. CISCE has asked schools to submit the average marks that ICSE students had obtained in Class 9 and Class 10 internal examinations in each subject so that the assessment criterion for preparing the results of the Class 10 students be formulated. The council is expected to announce the final evaluation criteria for the students of Class 10 soon. CISCE will declare the Class 10 results on the basis of a “fair and unbiased criterion”. The criterion on which basis the results will be declared for the ICSE (Class 10) students will be announced by the Council, a CISCE statement said. The evaluation criteria is expected to be formulated on the basis of the internal marks. “We have asked them [schools] to give us two types of marks - average marks of Class 9 and the average marks of Class 10. These children were in Class 9 last year, so their average marks then and this year for all the exams, unit tests - whatever they’ve had - throughout the year,” Gerry Arathoon, Secretary and Chief Executive of the CISCE, told Careers360 earlier. “After we receive it, then we’ll do an analysis and then I can announce to the public what exactly we are going to do. Let us first see what data the schools give,” CISCE official added.
