CISCE reduced the syllabus for ICSE, ISC Board Exams 20221 considering the ongoing pandemic situation. The syllabus for the upcoming year is reduced by 25% for the upcoming academic year 2020-21. 

The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), decided to reduce the syllabus for the upcoming academic year i.e. ICSE Board 2021 and ISC Board 2021 by 25 per cent due to the “significant shortening of the academic year and loss of the instructional hours” in the wake of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The official notice released by the Board stated, “While a number of CISCE affiliated schools have tried to adapt to this changed scenario and have tried to keep alive the teaching-learning process through online classes, there has been a significant shortening of the academic year and loss of the instructional hours.”

According to the statement, CISCE worked with its subject experts to reduce the syllabi for all major subjects at the ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) levels including Class 9 and Class 11 as well to make up for the loss in instructional hours during the current session 2020-2021. The council also said the “syllabus reduction has been done keeping in mind the linear progression across classes while ensuring that the core concepts related to the subject are retained”.
