Hello,

If a student has completed class 11 from an ICSE school in commerce stream, the most straightforward way is to continue in the same school for class 12, since it avoids paperwork and adjustment issues. However, if the student wants to change school or board (like CBSE or state board), then they need to collect a Transfer Certificate (TC), Class 11 marksheet, and a migration certificate if switching to another board. With these documents, a new school can admit them directly into Class 12.

Hope you will find it helpful!

Hello Rohan,

Don’t worry. If your father’s title and birth month are correct in the registration form, then there will be no problem in your board exams or entry to the exam centre.

The school ID card is only for school use, it is not checked in the exam centre. What matters is the details in your ICSE registration and admit card.

Still, you can inform your school to correct the ID card for future records.

Hope it helps !

Hello

A minor typo like writing "ICSC" instead of "ICSE" in your IB ACIO application form is generally not a serious issue, especially since you've already contacted the helpdesk and taken the right step to correct it. If the rest of your details like your marks, year, and roll number, are accurate and verifiable, such a small error is unlikely to lead to disqualification. However, keep any official documents and your helpdesk communication safe for future reference, especially during document verification.
