ISC Class 12 Admit Card 2026

How to get your ISC Class 12 admit card, what to verify, what to do if there is an error, and exactly what to carry on exam day.

Steps to Get Your Admit Card

1

Collect from your school

ISC admit cards are NOT available for individual download. CISCE sends them to schools. Your school office distributes them — usually 1–2 weeks before the first exam.

2

Verify all details immediately

Check: Full name, date of birth, registration number, subject codes, exam centre address, and photograph. Report any discrepancy to your school on the same day.

3

Check subject codes

Verify that all subjects you are appearing for are listed with the correct paper codes. Science students should see codes for Paper 1 (theory) separately from practicals.

4

Keep the original safe

Make 2–3 photocopies. Keep the original in a waterproof folder. Do not laminate it — laminated admit cards are often rejected at exam centres.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I download my ISC admit card online?

No. CISCE does not have a portal for individual admit card download. All admit cards are distributed by your school only.

What if my name is misspelled on the admit card?

Report it to your school Principal immediately. The school contacts the CISCE regional office for correction. This must be done before the exam — corrections after the exam are not possible.

What if I lose my admit card?

Contact your school. The school can apply to CISCE for a duplicate. This takes time, so report loss immediately — do not wait until the day before the exam.

Can I sit the exam without an admit card?

Typically no. However, schools can issue a temporary permission letter in genuine cases — coordinate with your school office well in advance.
