Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)
A comprehensive Indian curriculum focused on academic excellence and balanced development.
It strengthens conceptual understanding while fostering values, discipline, and holistic growth.
The ISC (Indian School Certificate) Programme at JG International School is affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), a nationally recognized education board established in 1958 and registered under the Societies Registration Act No. XXI of 1860.
The Delhi Education Act of 1973 (Chapter I, Section 2(S)) recognizes CISCE as a legitimate body conducting public examinations in India. This Programme at JGIS not only prepares students for competitive exams and higher education but also cultivates the skills and mindset necessary to thrive in a dynamic, global society.
In line with the National Education Policy (NEP), JGIS offers a flexible subject selection model at the ISC level. Students are no longer bound by traditional streams such as Science, Commerce, or Arts. Instead, they can customize their subject combinations based on their interests, strengths, and career goals—with the guidance of educators and career counsellors.
This approach supports holistic development and multidisciplinary learning, empowering students to explore and pursue diverse academic pathways.
