About the Course

The Indian School Certificate, often referred to as ISC, is an examination for Class 11 students, administered by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). For schools affiliated with the Council, the academic year typically starts in mid-March and ends in the first week of June, although some schools may commence the academic year as early as February.

The mentors ensure that the students overcome complex sections and explain complex ideas to them easily. They provide one-on-one sessions where they assist student to identify their strengths and weaknesses in all the subjects. At Acamind, we are dedicated to exam preparation by providing practice tests, revision techniques, and effective time management strategies. Besides academic achievements, we also motivate and encourage the student, thus giving them the strength and courage necessary when tackling difficult areas of the subjects.
