The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has released the evaluation criteria for ISCE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) students for the academic year 2020-21. Earlier this month, the Council cancelled the Class 12 board exams in view of the coronavirus situation across the country. In April, both the CBSE and the CISCE had cancelled the exams for Class 10.

Following this, the Supreme Court gave the CISCE two weeks to decide on the criteria to evaluate Class 12 students. On Sunday, June 20, the Council released its evaluation criteria scheme on its official website cisce.org.
