Chandigarh: The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) is set to introduce bar coding on answer sheets used in ICSE board examinations from the next session to maintain anonymity of the students.
At present, students mention both their names and roll numbers on the sheets. Gerry Arathoon, additional secretary, who is presently the officiating chief executive and secretary of ICSE, was in Chandigarh on Tuesday for the third annual conference of the association of schools for Indian school certificate (ASISC), which elected office-bearers of the newly-constituted north zone.
To bring down the burden of students following Supreme Court's ruling to make environmental science a compulsory subject, the ICSE has decided to split the curriculum into parts so that students can read different sections along with other subjects. "This way, the entire environmental science syllabus is being covered but there is no additional subject," he said.
