In ICSE or Class 10 Shreya Tughlaq from Chhatrabhuj Narsee Memorial School, Vile Parle, emerged as one of the national toppers, scoring 99.2%. Last year, two city students topped the exams with similar scores.

The ICSE pass percentage increased marginally by 0.01% and ISC by 0.18% compared to last year nationally. Southern region had the best performance across the country.Girls outshone boys in both the exams.

This year, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), which conducts the exam, declared the results two weeks earlier than usual due to the Live Ink Character Recognition (LICR) technology.

LICR captures and digitises marks entered on the top sheet of answer scripts and transfers the captured data to the council’s cloud-based servers directly from the evaluation centres.
