Speaking of the worrisome situation in Mumbai and the state of Maharashtra, the parents expressed doubts over contending the upcoming exams. The council had earlier announced that it will hold the examinations from July 1 to July 14.
In recent developments, the Council of Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISE) announced the allowance to students to appear for remaining examination papers of ICSE and ISC from an exam centre located in a CISCE affiliated school in the state, city or district where they are currently located.
