The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) conducted the ICSE Class 10 Geography board examination 2026 on 18 March 2026. Students appeared for the paper across centres from 11 am to 1 pm, with an initial 15‑minute reading time before writing began.

ICSE Class 10 Geography Paper Pattern and Structure
The Geography exam is structured to cover key elements of the ICSE syllabus. According to exam updates:
- The paper was held for 80 marks of theory, with 20 marks allocated to internal assessment (projects/practical work) for a total of 100 marks.
- It was divided into two parts:
- Part I (30 marks): Compulsory map work and short‑answer questions.
- Part II (50 marks): Long‑answer descriptive questions, where students selected and answered the required number.
The map work portion was reported as scoring and straightforward, while some descriptive questions in Part II required deeper conceptual responses

These mixed responses reflect a balanced assessment approach tailored to the ICSE syllabus.
