ICSE ISC Results 2026: CISCE Expected to Declare Class 10 and Class 12 Board Results This Week — How

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is expected to declare the ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) Results 2026 this week, with reports suggesting an announcement by the end of April — possibly on or around 28 April 2026. Last year, CISCE announced both results on 30 April, and a similar timeline is anticipated this year. Once declared, results will be available on the official websites cisce.org and results.cisce.org, as well as through the DigiLocker app and SMS services.

The ICSE (Class 10) examinations were conducted from 17 February to 30 March 2026, while the ISC (Class 12) examinations were held from 12 February to 3 April 2026. With the evaluation process now believed to be complete, students across the country are anxiously awaiting the official announcement. CISCE has not yet confirmed the exact date and time, but the board is expected to issue a notification on its website and through official channels shortly before the result goes live.

How to Check ICSE and ISC Results 2026

Students can check and download their ICSE and ISC Results 2026 through multiple channels. The primary method is through CISCE’s official websites. Here is a step-by-step guide for checking results online:

Method 1: Via cisce.org

Step 1: Visit the official CISCE website at cisce.org. Step 2: Click on the “ICSE Result 2026” or “ISC Result 2026” link that will appear on the homepage once results are declared. Step 3: Enter your Unique ID and Index Number in the required fields. Step 4: Click “Submit” to view your result. Step 5: Download or print the digital marksheet for your records.

Method 2: Via results.cisce.org

CISCE also maintains a dedicated results portal at results.cisce.org. The process is identical — students need to enter their Unique ID and Index Number to access their scorecards. This portal is often faster during peak traffic periods as it is specifically designed to handle result queries.

Method 3: Via DigiLocker

CISCE results are also available on the DigiLocker app and website (digilocker.gov.in). Students who have a DigiLocker account linked to their CISCE credentials can access their marksheets directly through the platform. This method has the additional benefit of providing a digitally verified copy of the marksheet that is accepted by many institutions for admission and verification purposes.

Method 4: Via SMS

Students may also be able to access their results via SMS, though CISCE typically confirms the specific SMS format and shortcode at the time of result declaration. In previous years, the board has provided a toll-free number for result queries as well.

What the Digital Marksheet Includes

The ICSE and ISC digital marksheets contain comprehensive information about a student’s performance. For ICSE (Class 10), the marksheet includes subject-wise marks for all papers attempted, the total aggregate, the qualifying status (pass or fail), and any supplementary examination requirements if applicable. The ISC (Class 12) marksheet follows a similar format, with marks for each subject including internal assessment and practical examination components where applicable.

It is important to note that the online marksheet is provisional. Students must collect their original mark sheets and certificates from their respective schools. Schools typically distribute original documents within two to four weeks of the result declaration. Students are advised to verify all details on their marksheets — including name, date of birth, and subject marks — and report any discrepancies to their school and CISCE immediately.

Expected Trends and Pass Percentages

While CISCE does not typically release detailed pre-result analysis, education experts expect the overall pass percentage for both ICSE and ISC to remain high, consistent with trends observed in recent years. In 2025, the ICSE pass percentage was above 99 per cent, while the ISC pass percentage was approximately 98 per cent. The board has been gradually implementing reforms to its evaluation methodology, including more structured marking schemes and moderation processes, which have contributed to stable or improving pass rates.

The 2026 examination cycle saw the introduction of several changes in paper patterns for select subjects, particularly in science and mathematics at the ISC level. These changes, aimed at encouraging analytical and application-based thinking rather than rote learning, may influence subject-wise performance patterns. Students who found the revised paper patterns challenging may see slightly different score distributions compared to previous years.

This year’s results also carry heightened significance for students applying to universities. Many institutions have already opened their admission portals and are accepting applications on a provisional basis, pending board results. Students seeking admission to top colleges will need their ICSE and ISC scores to finalise applications, making timely result declaration crucial.

Revaluation and Rechecking Process

Students who are not satisfied with their marks can apply for revaluation or rechecking through the official CISCE portal. The board typically opens the rechecking window within a few days of result declaration. For rechecking, CISCE verifies that all answers have been evaluated and that the marks have been totalled correctly. The fee for rechecking is typically Rs 1,000 per subject, though this may be updated for the 2026 cycle.

Full revaluation — where the answer script is re-evaluated by a different examiner — involves a higher fee and longer processing time. Students considering revaluation should carefully review the process guidelines published by CISCE on their website, as there are specific deadlines and procedures that must be followed. Results of revaluation typically take four to six weeks and are communicated directly to the student’s school.

For students who do not pass in one or more subjects, CISCE conducts compartmental or supplementary examinations, typically scheduled for July. Students can appear in these examinations to clear their pending subjects without having to repeat the entire year.
