The Council for the Indian School Certificate Exams (CISCE) has notified that the 2017 board exams for classes X and XII will be rescheduled as the dates of the examinations clash with the polls in five state.

After the election Commission announced the dates for election to legislative assemblies in the five states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Manipur and Goa, the Chief Executive and Secretary of CISCE, Gerry Arathoon, informed that the exams would be rescheduled. Dates of at least 8 papers will have to be changed, he added. However he emphasised that of late no date has been finalised.

The ISC arts paper 1 was scheduled to be conducted on the 11th of February, the same date when the first phase of the polls will be held. The Computer Science paper 2 also clashes with the date of the second phase. Similarly, ICSE English language paper and fifth phase of polls are listed for February 27.

The new notification is bound to create anticipation in students for the revised schedule of examinations.
