ISC Syllabus 2027 is prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) for the 2026–27 academic session, covering Class 12 subjects across Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams. CISCE has published the subject-wise syllabi at cisce.org. A key change for 2027 is that competency-based questions now form 50% of each theory paper, testing application and analysis rather than recall alone. Download the official subject PDFs from cisce.org and align your preparation with the new question format before the exams begin in February 2027.

  • The ISC 2027 syllabus covers 31 subjects across Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams under CISCE.
  • English Language and English Literature are compulsory — you must pass English (or Modern English) plus four other subjects to earn the ISC certificate from 2027.
  • A significant change for 2027: 50% of theory paper marks are competency-based questions, requiring application, analysis, and evaluation — not just factual recall.
  • Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) carry 70 marks for theory and 30 marks for practicals; Mathematics carries 80 marks theory and 20 marks for project work.
  • From 2027, CISCE will issue a single combined certificate and statement of marks for all ISC subjects — replacing the separate documents issued earlier.
  • The official ISC 2027 timetable is expected in November 2026; theory exams are expected to begin mid-February 2027.
  • Robotics and AI have been introduced as new elective subjects for Classes 11 and 12 in the 2026–27 session.
