August 13, 2026: CISCE improvement results are out

The ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 Improvement Examination 2026 results have been declared, according to reports published on July 17 and July 22, 2026. Students who appeared for the improvement papers should now check and save their result from the official CISCE results portal. The rechecking windows reported for these results have already closed.

## Who is affected?

This update is for:

- ICSE Class 10 candidates who appeared for the 2026 Improvement Examination. - ISC Class 12 candidates who appeared for the 2026 Improvement Examination. - Parents and schools helping these students with college, Class 11, or document requirements.

It does not apply to students who only appeared in the main ICSE or ISC Examination 2026 and did not register for the Improvement Examination.

## What students should do now

Go to the official CISCE results portal and keep your course code, Unique ID, index number and captcha ready. The portal instructions say that students must enter these details, select “Show Result”, and then use “Print Result” to save a copy. We checked the official result portal on August 13, 2026; it remains the correct CISCE results route, although the page may display different result sections depending on the examination being accessed.

Download or print the result and check your name, Unique ID, subjects and marks carefully. Save the file in at least two places—for example, on your phone and in email or cloud storage. Do not rely only on a screenshot if you need to submit marks for admission.

## What changed after the improvement examination?

For ICSE Class 10, India Today reported on July 22, 2026 that CISCE had declared the Improvement Examination result and that DigiLocker marksheets were expected to become available from July 24. The report also said that, for each subject attempted, the higher mark from the main examination and the Improvement Examination would be treated as the final score. This result detail is reported by India Today on July 22, 2026; we could not verify it against a separate CISCE result-declaration circular during this check, so students should rely on the official result document issued through CISCE and their school.

For ISC Class 12, NDTV reported on July 17, 2026 that CISCE had declared the Improvement Examination result and opened rechecking until July 20, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Careers360 reported the same result and deadline on July 16, 2026. Those deadlines are now in the past. A request submitted after the stated closing time would not be accepted, according to the reports.

## What happens if you did nothing?

If you appeared for the Improvement Examination but did not apply for rechecking by the relevant deadline, there is no new action to take through that closed window. Keep your result safely and speak to your school if the scorecard contains an error or if you need an updated statement of marks or pass certificate.

CISCE’s official ISC Year 2026 Guidelines for Recheck, Re-evaluation, Improvement Examination and Supplementary Examination, issued in May 2026, state that recheck applications are submitted online and that re-evaluation is available only after the recheck result, within the notified period. The guidelines also state that re-evaluation marks, whether increased or decreased, become final. Read the official CISCE guidelines PDF. The PDF text we could read does not provide a fresh post-deadline remedy for students who missed rechecking.

Schools may receive or download updated tabulation registers and candidate-wise reports through the CISCE Careers Portal. NDTV and Careers360 reported that revised statements of marks and pass certificates would be issued where required. The exact collection date for physical documents has not been published in the sources we checked, so students should ask their school office rather than wait for an unverified social-media message.

Primary-source check: Official CISCE results portal and May 2026 ISC guidelines checked on August 13, 2026. Result declaration dates were reported by NDTV on July 17, 2026, and India Today on July 22, 2026; no separate CISCE result circular was found in this check.
