NEW DELHI, July 24: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) on Saturday announced results for classes 10 and 12 but like the last year there will be no merit list.
In the class 12 results girls outshone boys by a margin on 0.2 % while in class 10 girls and boys achieved the same pass percentage.
The board said that like last year, there would be no merit list this time too in view of the exceptional circumstances in which results have been prepared.
The CISCE had cancelled exams for both classes this year in view of the aggressive second wave of COVID-19.
The results have been prepared on an alternate assessment policy decided by the board.
“In class 10, girls and boys have achieved a pass percentage of 99.98 %. In class 12, the pass percentage of girls is 99.86 % while that of boys is 99.66 %,” CISCE Chief Executive and Secretary Gerry Arathoon said.
He informed that unlike previous years option of rechecking of answer scripts will not be available this year as candidates have been awarded “imputed marks.”
However, a dispute resolution mechanism will be in place for correction of calculation errors, if any, Arathoon said. The results will be available on the website of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) www.cisce.org or www.results.cisce.org and through SMS by keying in Unique ID in the New Message box in the format ICSE (Seven-digit Unique ID) or ISC (Seven-digit Unique ID) and sending the message to the number 09248082883.
