CISCE Issues ICSE and ISC 2026 Admit Cards Exclusively Through Affiliated Schools
The Council of the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has officially dispatched the admit cards for the upcoming 2026 examinations to all its affiliated schools across India. These hall tickets are now being distributed to Class 10th (ICSE) and Class 12th (ISC) students by the respective institutions, following dates determined individually by each school.
Strict No-Online Policy for Students
In a significant move, CISCE has maintained a very strict system where admit cards are not available online for students. There is no individual login facility or direct download link provided to candidates. The entire process, from downloading to verification and distribution, is being handled solely through the schools.
The official portal, cisce.org, can only be accessed by authorized school personnel. Schools are responsible for downloading the admit cards, verifying student details, and issuing printed copies to the candidates. This centralized approach ensures security and minimizes errors.
Official Warnings Against Unofficial Sources
CISCE has strongly advised students not to rely on unofficial websites or random links claiming to offer admit card downloads. The council does not provide personal access to hall tickets for students. All authentic updates and official communications are shared exclusively on the council’s official website.
Students and parents are urged to exercise caution and only trust information disseminated through their respective schools or the official CISCE channels to avoid any potential scams or misinformation.
Examination Schedule for 2026
The ISC (Class 12) examinations are scheduled to commence on February 12, 2026, while the ICSE (Class 10) exams will begin from February 17, 2026. This timeline allows schools ample time to complete the distribution process and for students to prepare accordingly.
How Schools Download ICSE Hall Tickets 2026
Schools can follow these steps to download the ICSE admit cards from the official CISCE website:
- Navigate to the official website, cisce.org.
- On the homepage, click on the “News” section.
- Select the option ‘ICSE/ISC Admit Card 2026’.
- Enter the required login credentials and captcha.
- Download the admit cards and distribute printed copies to students.
Essential Details to Verify on the Hall Ticket
Once students receive their admit cards, they must immediately verify all the printed details to ensure accuracy. The hall ticket should contain the following information:
- Student’s name, date of birth, and gender
- Roll number or unique ID
- Examination name (ICSE or ISC)
- Photograph and signature
- School name
- Names of mother and father
- Subjects chosen
- Full text of examination centre, address, centre number, and index number
Any discrepancy or error in these details should be reported to the school authorities at once for prompt correction. This verification step is crucial to avoid issues during the examination.
The CISCE’s meticulous approach aims to streamline the pre-examination process, ensuring that all candidates receive their hall tickets securely and on time, while maintaining the integrity of the examination system.
