ICSE & ISC Question Papers
Official CISCE specimen question papers for ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12, organised by subject. CISCE does not maintain a public previous-year paper archive the way some other boards do; the specimen papers released each year (with select answer keys) are the primary official prep resource. Each subject page links the correct official specimen papers and explains the exam pattern.

Frequently asked questions
Does CISCE publish previous-year question papers?
CISCE does not maintain a public year-wise previous-paper archive comparable to some other boards. The main official study resource is the annual set of specimen question papers, released on cisce.org each year (usually August). The Analysis of Pupil Performance reports — which include examiner commentary on actual question papers — are also published on cisce.org.
Where can I download ICSE and ISC specimen papers?
Specimen question papers for ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 are published on the official CISCE website at cisce.org. Open the Examinations section and look for Specimen Question Papers. The 2026-cycle set includes select answer keys.
Are the specimen papers the same as the actual board paper?
Specimen papers are model question papers released by the board to show the format, question types, and difficulty level for the exam. They are not the same as papers from past years, but they follow the current syllabus and marking scheme and are the best officially sanctioned preparation resource.
