Pass marks in the class-X ICSE and class-XII ISC examinations will be reduced from this year itself,

Pass marks in the class-X ICSE and class-XII ISC examinations will be reduced from this year itself, instead of from 2019. Also, the evaluation of practical exams will have to be done on the day of the exam and at the school instead of at centralised evaluation centres.
These two decisions form a part of a slew of changes that the Council for Indian School Certificate Examination is eff-ecting from this year. More than 1.7 lakh students write the class-X exams and more than 70,000 students appear for the class-XII across the country.
