There are about 2,050 private schools in India that are affiliated to the CISCE. There are 174 ICSE schools in Maharashtra, of which 87 are in Mumbai. For the last few years, the ICSE has been trying to improve its examination process and has introduced many changes, including changes in the marking pattern from 50:50 to 70:30 for certain subjects.
Innovation
Evaluators assessing the 2016 board examination papers of the ICSE, and ISC, will enter scores for every question in a grid on the answer script using a Live Ink Character Recognition, or LICR, pen in a designated spot. The marks entered on the answer script is displayed on a tab and verified by the evaluators. It then goes straight to the CISCE server, reducing a lot of paper work. Over 2.3 lakh candidates are expected to write the ICSE and ISC examinations in 2016, which will be using this technology.
