“CISCE has initiated the process of syllabus review for various subjects at the ICSE and ISC levels specifically for classes 10 and 12 for the exam year 2022, to identify portions of the syllabus which may be reduced, without compromising on the quality of content”, CISCE secretary Gerry Arathoon stated.
He asserted that the board, in consultation with its subject experts, will continue with the process of syllabus reduction in the remaining subjects at the ICSE and ISC levels.
“Project work already completed/initiated by the candidates in different subjects/s, on topics which have been removed from the syllabus, is to be accepted and marked,” Arathoon added.
