Revised ICSE 2027 Exam Timings
The biggest change this year is the start time. Earlier, ICSE reading time began at 10:45 am and writing at 11:00 am. For 2027, students must be seated by 9:45 am, reading time runs from 10:00 am to 10:15 am, and writing starts at 10:15 am. Two-hour papers finish at 12:15 pm and three-hour papers at 1:15 pm. Art papers start at 9:00 am, with reading time from 8:45 am and seating by 8:30 am.
What to Do Next
Adjust your daily routine to the new morning start so the 10:15 am slot feels normal by February. Use the gaps between the three science papers (March 8, 12 and 15) for focused revision, and plan Hindi practice before March 4. Collect your admission card from school once distribution starts in mid-December. For more exam updates, browse our Sarkari Result section.
