ISC
The Indian School Certificate
(ISC) Examination
The Indian School Certificate (ISC) Examination, conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), serves as a school-leaving qualification for students who have successfully completed Class 10. Admission to the ISC program is subject to the eligibility criteria set by the Council. The ISC qualification is widely recognized by the Inter-University Board for entry into a three-year undergraduate degree program.
The curriculum is structured into three academic streams: Science, Commerce and Humanities. English or the newly implemented, Modern English, being a mandatory subject for all students. Depending on their chosen stream, students must select additional subjects—four or five, depending on their stream. The availability of subject combinations is determined by the school based on a feasibility study, which may vary annually. For more information, contact the school office.
