CISCE is set to revise the ICSE Class X 2026 pass percentage on June 25, 2026, after improvement exam results are processed, with the overall figure expected to reach approximately 99.50% or above based on previous-year trends.

CISCE conducts a supplementary improvement exam for ICSE Class X students who either failed in one or two subjects or want to improve their scores. Once the improvement exam results are processed, the board recalculates the cumulative pass percentage, updating the standing of all appearing students. The revised figure replaces each student’s lower score — or confers a pass where a student had earlier failed — and may shift the overall pass percentage upward compared to the number announced at the time of the main result.

  • Main ICSE Class X 2026 result was declared in May 2026 with a provisional pass percentage.
  • Students who appeared for the improvement exam will see their revised marks reflected in the June 25, 2026 updated result.
  • The final cumulative pass percentage is calculated after merging both sets of results.
  • Based on trends from previous years, the ICSE Class X overall pass percentage has been above 99% since 2022.
  • Girls have consistently outperformed boys in ICSE Class X pass percentage across recent years.

ICSE Class X 2026 Pass Percentage After Improvement Exam

CISCE will update the ICSE Class X 2026 pass percentage once the improvement exam results are merged with the main result. The cumulative pass percentage for ICSE Class X 2026 is expected to be around 99.50% or higher, based on trends from 2024 and 2025. This final figure is the one that appears in official CISCE statistics and press releases.

Particulars Details
Exam Name ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) Class X
Conducting Body CISCE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations)
Improvement Exam Result Date June 25, 2026 (expected)
Official Website cisce.org
Expected Pass Percentage After Improvement ~99.50% or above (based on 2025 trends)

Students who appeared for the improvement exam and secured a passing grade in all subjects will now be counted among the passed students. This revision typically pushes the overall pass percentage marginally higher than the figure reported after the main exam in May 2026.


How the Improvement Exam Affects Overall Pass Percentage

The improvement exam is a second-attempt opportunity offered by CISCE to ICSE Class X students who failed in one or two subjects or who want to improve their scores. Once the improvement exam marks are processed, CISCE recalculates the overall pass percentage by including the newly passed students in the total pass count.

Here is how the revision works:

  • Students who were marked fail in the main result but pass the improvement exam are reclassified as pass in the final statistics.
  • Students who appeared for improvement to better their scores have their higher mark updated in the final mark sheet.
  • The total number of students who passed across both attempts is divided by the total number of students who appeared, giving the revised pass percentage.
  • The revised pass percentage is always equal to or higher than the main-result pass percentage — it can never be lower.

This combined figure is what CISCE uses in the official statistical report for the year. Students who clear all subjects in the improvement exam receive a fresh mark sheet from CISCE reflecting their updated performance. The improvement does not carry any stigma — it is treated as part of the regular assessment cycle.


Gender-wise ICSE Class X Pass Percentage 2026

Historically, girls have outperformed boys in ICSE Class X. Based on 2025 data, girls recorded a pass percentage of approximately 99.60%, while boys registered around 99.30%. The 2026 gender-wise breakdown after the improvement exam is expected to follow a similar pattern.

Category ICSE 2025 Pass % ICSE 2026 Expected Pass % After Improvement
Girls ~99.60% ~99.60% or above
Boys ~99.30% ~99.35% or above
Overall 99.47% ~99.50% or above

The 2026 figures are expected values based on 2025 trends and will be confirmed once CISCE releases the official report on or after June 25, 2026. The gender gap in pass percentage has narrowed over the years but girls have consistently held the edge.


ICSE Class X Year-wise Pass Percentage Trend

The ICSE Class X pass percentage has remained consistently high over the past several years. Since 2022, the overall pass percentage has stayed above 98.9%, reflecting strong academic performance across CISCE-affiliated schools nationwide.

Year ICSE Class X Pass Percentage
2025 99.47%
2024 99.47%
2023 98.94%
2022 99.97%
2021 99.98%
2020 98.44%
2026 (expected after improvement) ~99.50% or above

The improvement exam typically adds a small increment to the pass percentage, as a relatively small proportion of the total student pool appears for this second attempt. The overall pass percentage for 2026 will be officially confirmed by CISCE following the publication of the improvement exam result on June 25, 2026.
