ISC 12th Result 2027 Date, Pass Criteria and How the Percentage Is Counted

The Indian School Certificate (ISC) is the Class 12 examination of CISCE. Its result is important for one extra reason: ISC students often apply to universities that calculate “best of four” or “best of five”, so understanding how your marks are counted matters as much as the date.

Expected result date

In recent sessions CISCE has released ISC and ICSE results together in late April or early May. The council normally publishes a short notice with the date and time just before the result. For 2027, expect the same window and watch cisce.org for the notice.

How to check

Go to results.cisce.org, select ISC as the course, enter your Unique ID, Index Number and the CAPTCHA. The steps are identical to the ICSE result process.

ISC pass criteria

How colleges count ISC marks

CISCE shows subject marks; it does not print one “official percentage” for admissions. Each university applies its own formula. Common ones are:

• Best of four: English plus the three highest-scoring academic subjects.
• Best of five: all five main subjects.
• PCM or PCB aggregate: used by engineering and medical bodies.

Example: English 88, Physics 79, Chemistry 84, Mathematics 91, Computer Science 95. Best of four with English = (88 + 95 + 91 + 84) ÷ 4 = 89.5%. All five = 87.4%. PCM = 84.67%. Use the figure that the form asks for.

ISC marks and entrance exams

• CUET: the board result works as an eligibility condition; admission is on the CUET score.
• Engineering: check the minimum Class 12 percentage or top-percentile condition of the institute.
• Abroad: ISC is widely recognised; universities normally ask for the statement of marks and the pass certificate.

Documents you will receive

The online result is followed by a statement of marks and a pass certificate sent to the school, and digital copies in DigiLocker. A migration certificate is also issued through DigiLocker or the school as per the council’s procedure.

If the result is not what you expected

You can ask for a recheck within the given window, and ISC students may choose an improvement exam in limited subjects. Details are in CISCE recheck and improvement exam.
