CISCE Announces ICSE Class 10 Admit Cards
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has made an important announcement regarding the ICSE Board Exams for Class 10 students in 2026. The eagerly awaited admit cards, also referred to as hall tickets, have been issued, signaling the final stage of preparation for numerous students nationwide.
Exam Schedule and Preparation
The board examinations are set to begin on February 17, 2026. Students are encouraged to remain vigilant, finalize their revisions, and ensure that all necessary exam documents are organized ahead of time.
How to Obtain ICSE Admit Cards
In contrast to many other educational boards, ICSE students are unable to download their admit cards directly from the CISCE website. For security and verification purposes, only school heads and principals are authorized to access and download the hall tickets from the official portal.

Students must collect their admit cards in person from their respective schools before the exam date.

Key details to verify include:
- Full name of the student and parents
- Roll number and unique candidate ID

- Subject-wise exam dates and timings
- Student’s photograph and signature
Failing to correct any errors could lead to complications on the exam day, making early verification crucial.
