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.
