The Most Important Rule: How Your Final Marks Are Decided

Critical Clarification from CISCE: Students who opted for the Improvement Examination need NOT worry about losing marks. CISCE has clearly stated the “better of the two” policy applies:

  • If your Improvement Exam marks are HIGHER than your original March 2026 board exam marks in that subject → the improved score becomes your final, official mark for that subject
  • If your original marks were HIGHER → your original marks continue to remain valid and are retained as final

This means appearing for the Improvement Exam carries essentially no downside risk to your existing score — your final marksheet will always reflect whichever attempt scored better, subject by subject.

Mandatory: Returning Your Old Result Documents

CISCE has instructed all schools to inform students of their Improvement Result and collect the previously issued result documents before issuing revised/amended ones. If your marks have been updated following the Improvement Exam, you are required to surrender your earlier documents to receive the corrected version. The specific documents to be returned depend on your original result status:
Original Result Status Documents to Be Returned
Qualified Candidates Pass Certificate-cum-Statement of Marks AND Migration Certificate
Candidates with Supplementary Supplementary Statement of Marks
Candidates Marked “Not Qualified” Statement of Marks
Action Point: Contact your school as soon as possible to understand the exact process and timeline for submitting your old documents and collecting the revised, amended certificate reflecting your improved marks.
