The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has cancelled the ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) board exams 2026 at all centres in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The decision was taken due to the current security situation in the Middle East, and results will be prepared through an alternative assessment method.
