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.
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)."
