Expect results of ICSE, ISC early this year

Results for the ICSE and ISC exams this year might just be declared earlier as the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has introduced digital technology for evaluation of answer scripts. 

Examiners will use an a digital pen and tablet called the Live Ink Character Recognition (LICR) technology. A press release from the board said  the new technology would “help publish results faster.”

While examiners will use normal pens to evaluate answer sheets, they will use the LICR pen to fill in slots positioned on top of each answersheet page against each question. They would also be required to write individual marks obtained for each question as well as the total. The examiner would then click a check mark on the tab to verify the input. The LICR would then scan the entire top sheet and send it to the Council’s system. “Once the checked mark is clicked via cloud computing, scores for each question and the total marks obtained by a student will be stored in the Council’s cloud computing system,” said the release.
