CISCE Board Result 2026 Date: When will ICSE 10th & ISC 12th Results be Declared?
More than 4 lakh students across India and international centres are eagerly waiting for the ICSE Board Result 2026 Date. The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has already released the official exam timetable, and results are expected in April 2026 — most likely in the last week.
Unlike CBSE’s new two-phase system, CISCE declares ICSE 10th and ISC 12th results on the same day every year. No separate dates, no confusion. Here’s your complete, up-to-date guide with expected dates, step-by-step checking process, passing criteria, and expert tips to stay stress-free.
CISCE 2026 Exam Schedules at a Glance
CISCE follows a single examination cycle for both classes:
- ICSE Class 10 (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education): 17 February 2026 to 30 March 2026
- ISC Class 12 (Indian School Certificate): 12 February 2026 to 6 April 2026
Practical exams for both classes are usually held in January–February. Over 2.6 lakh students appear for ICSE and 1.5 lakh for ISC every year. The board conducts exams in 75+ subjects for ICSE and 50+ for ISC.
Expected ICSE ISC Result 2026 Dates
No official date has been announced yet, but past trends and official patterns give us a clear picture:
ICSE 10th Result 2026 and ISC 12th Result 2026 will be declared together via a press conference, exactly like 2025 (30 April) and 2024 (6 May).
ICSE and ISC Results on the Same Day – Why CISCE Declares Them Together
CISCE believes in uniformity. Both classes use the same evaluation infrastructure, digital marking system, and result portal. This ensures fairness and allows schools, parents, and students to plan admissions (Class 11 or college) at the same time.
How CISCE Evaluation Works and Why Results Come So Fast
CISCE uses a highly efficient digital evaluation process with strict quality checks. Answer scripts are scanned and evaluated by trained examiners across the country. The entire process — from exam end to result declaration — usually takes only 3–4 weeks, which is why you get results by late April even when ISC exams end in early April.
