The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has notified the revised Indian School Certificate (ISC) or Class 12 syllabus for 2025 and 2026. Several vocational subjects have also been introduced at the ICSE level under Group 3 from 2025 onwards. Along with the ISC Class 12th syllabus, the Class 11 curriculum for the academic year 2024 has been uploaded on the official website, cisce.org.
The ICSE Class 12 board exams 2024 were held from February 12 to April 3. However, the psychology paper was postponed due to the loss of the question paper packet at one of the centers and was conducted on April 4. Before this, the Class 12 chemistry exam was also rescheduled to March 21 due to “unavoidable circumstances”.
The ISC vocational subjects under group 3 include Assistant Beauty Therapist (59), Assistant Hair Stylist (61), Basic Data Entry Operator (67), Dietetic Aide (71), Cashier (74), Early Years Physical Activity Facilitator (75), and Auto Service Technician (96). Additionally, robotics and artificial intelligence will also be taught in vocational subjects.
“To enhance educational transactions, this syllabus has an optional recommendation to include ‘Contemporary Studies’ as a component of Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW),” the CISCE said.
