Mode of semester 2 exam
The CISCE had conducted the Semester 1 exams for ICSE and ICS in online mode, and the questions were asked in multiple choice questions (MCQ) format. The exams were held in November 2021. Approximately 50% of the syllabus was covered in the Semester 1 exams. By viewing the official notification, it is safe to say that the Semester 2 exams will be conducted in offline mode, but the CISCE is yet to announce if the questions will be of objective or subjective type.
