ISC Chemistry paper postponed two hours prior to examination

Srishti Lakhotia, MP, 26 Feb 2024 :  Two hours prior to the commencement of the first paper of ISC examination, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations cancelled the paper due to “unforeseen reasons”. 

The ISC Chemistry paper 1 (theory) exam was scheduled to take place on Monday at 2 pm. It was postponed and rescheduled to take place on March 21 instead, according to a notice issued by CISCE deputy secretary Sangeeta Bhatiam. 

No reason was specified in the notice, however concerns on paper leakage were raised but there is no official confirmation on that. 

Students were highly inconvenienced with this sudden change in plan. Schools had informed of the development to their students and parents through messages.
