Still unknown: the ICSE and ISC 2027 result date
The ICSE ISC date sheet 2027 is out. CISCE released both timetables on November 10, 2026 at cisce.org. Class 10 ICSE exams run February 15 to March 31. For Class 12, ISC exams run February 9 to April 8, 2027.
Three names matter here. CISCE is the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations. Class 10 students take the ICSE exam. In Class 12, students take the ISC exam.
Both CISCE exams start earlier than in 2026. In 2026, ISC began on February 12. The 2027 start is February 9. That is three days sooner.
