ICSE, ISC pass marks to be cut
Jhinuk Mazumdar and Subhankar Chowdhury, TT, Calcutta: The ICSE pass percentage has been reduced to 33 from 35 and that of ISC to 35 from 40 from 2019, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations said on Monday.
"The objective of this is to bring about... uniformity with other boards in the country," said Gerry Arathoon, the council's chief executive and secretary.
Although the changes will be effective from 2019, schools have been advised to "implement the same pass mark criteria in your internal examinations... from the academic year 2018-19" for Classes IX to XII.
The pass mark in CBSE Classes X and XII is 33 per cent.
Arathoon told The Telegraph: "We have decided to come down to 35 per cent (for ISC). Our board has a certain credibility and we need to maintain that, and it's a matter of (just) 2 per cent (in comparison with the CBSE pass percentage)."
