Rechecking / Revaluation — If You Are Not Satisfied
If you are unhappy with your marks, CISCE allows students to apply for result rechecking:
Important Points:
- Applications must be submitted within 4 days of result declaration
- Apply through the CISCE official website (cisce.org) online
- A stipulated fee applies per subject
- Rechecking module typically activates in May 2026
Act quickly — the 4-day window is very tight. If you plan to apply for rechecking, have the fee and your login credentials ready.
Original Marksheet — When and Where to Collect
The online ICSE marksheet available on result day is a provisional marksheet. It is valid for immediate purposes such as college applications.
The original ICSE marksheet and pass certificate will be distributed through your respective school approximately one week after the result declaration.
Collect your original marksheet from your school. For all long-term official purposes (passports, university applications, government documents), the school-issued original marksheet carries greater weight than the provisional digital download.
What to Do After ICSE 10th Result 2026?
The ICSE 10th result is a key decision point that shapes your next two years. Here is what to do:
If you passed:
