The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) on Monday announced the new timetable for ISC students. The decision comes in the wake of the All India Trade Union strike on February 20 and 21, when three ISC papers were scheduled to take place.
Environmental Science, Environmental Education and Art Paper 3 Examinations, due to the nationwide bandh, changes have been made," said Gerry Arathoon, chief executive and secretary of CISCE.
The Art Paper 3 which was scheduled to take place on February 21 will now be conducted on February 25 whereas the Environmental Science (Paper 1) and Environmental Education (Paper 1) exams which were scheduled to take place on February 20 have been rescheduled to April 1, 2013.
"The ISC exams were supposed to get over by March 25. Now, some of the students will have to wait till April 1 to finish with their exams," said the principal of an ISC school in Thane. "Students who have already planned their holidays or classes for higher education courses will face problems. But it is better than facing problems on the day of the exam, so we have no choice," said the principal.
