ICSE Result 2027, Recheck and Re-evaluation
CISCE will declare the ICSE Class 10 result 2027 in April / May 2027. The result will be available only on cisce.org and not from the CISCE office. Students who are not satisfied can apply online for a recheck within four days of the result. This is a paid service. A recheck only verifies that all answers were marked, that the totals are correct and that the continuation booklets are attached.
After the recheck result, students can apply online for re-evaluation within three days. Re-evaluation is allowed only for the subjects that were rechecked. The marks after re-evaluation, whether higher or lower, will be final. The re-evaluation fee is non-refundable. CISCE keeps answer scripts for only 60 days after the result.
