“The candidates who appear for the Examination will be issued a computer-generated Mark Sheet. This Mark Sheet will only indicate the marks obtained by the candidates in each subject / paper taken by them for the Semester 1 Examination. The overall result i.e. – Pass Certificate Awarded/ Pass Certificate Not Awarded/ Eligible for Compartment Examination will only be declared after completion of the Semester 2 Examination,” it has informed students.
The paper will be in multiple-choice questions (MCQ) format. Students will get a question paper cum answer booklet 10 minutes prior to the exam. Students will have to carry their own stationery so as to avoid sharing the same with other candidates. They must carry only a blue or black ink pen to mark their responses on the OMR sheets. CISCE has banned the carrying of mobile phones, electronic devices, headphones, and any other electronic gadgets to the exam hall.
