† The reports reviewed disagree on the start time for these papers: one lists Physical Education (3 March), Biology (15 March) and Commerce (29 March) at 9:00 AM instead of 2:00 PM, and the list of language papers on 22 February also differs between sources. The official PDF decides.
Most ISC papers are reported to start at 2:00 PM and run three hours, with 15 minutes of reading time, while some Art papers start at 9:00 AM.
Where the Gaps Fall: A Look at Science, Maths and Languages
The ICSE Science papers are spread across three weeks: Physics on 8 March, Chemistry on 12 March and Biology on 15 March. Mathematics comes early, on 22 February, which leaves students about a month before the Science block. In ISC, Chemistry is on 24 February, Physics on 8 March and Biology on 15 March, with Mathematics on 1 March. Students with an elective on the same day as another paper, such as the four-subject slot on 12 February or the large Group III block on 17 March in ICSE, should tell the school early so that any clash is raised with the Council.
Practical Exams and Admit Cards: What the Reports Do Not Say
None of the reports reviewed gave dates for practical examinations, project work or internal assessment, and none mentioned when admit cards will be available. Schools normally hand out the candidate’s examination details, so parents should ask the school office for the practical schedule and for the date the admit card or candidate slip will be issued.
How to Download the ICSE and ISC 2027 Timetable PDF
- Go to cisce.org. Type the address directly, not through an unknown link on social media.
- Open the examinations or notifications section. Reports describe the link slightly differently, so both menus are worth a look.
- Select ICSE 2027 or ISC 2027. Choose the Examination Timetable link for the right class.
- Open the PDF. Check each paper’s date, reporting time, start time and the instructions printed on it.
- Save a copy. A screenshot of the subject rows for the student’s own combination is easier to keep on the phone.
