The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations is a non-governmental, privately held national-level board of school education in India that conducts the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination for Class X and the Indian School Certificate for Class XII.

CISCE conducts the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education or ICSE board exams every year for students studying in Class 10. The ICSE examinations are usually conducted in February/March every year. All students who have cleared class 9th from schools affiliated with the CISCE board can apply for the ICSE 10th exams. The Council prescribes the ICSE syllabus and exam pattern. Students must also download and practice the ICSE previous years’ question papers and specimen question papers for better preparation of exams. The ICSE admit card is issued to students 15-20 days before the beginning of examinations.
