ICSE, ISC compartment exam dates announced, to begin from 16 August

-

The schedule for the improvement and compartment examinations for ICSE (Class 10) and ISC (Class 12) has been released by the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE). The exams are set to begin on 16 August. Candidates can check the notification and detailed timetable at the official site of the CISCE https://cisce.org/.

For the ICSE (Class 10) students, the examinations are scheduled to begin on 16 August and conclude on 2 September. For ISC (Class 12) candidates, the exams will conclude on 7 September.  As per the notification, the results will be declared around 20 September.

Candidates who clear the examinations will have to return the previous original statement of marks to their schools. The revised statement, declaring the candidate’s status from Pass Certificate Not Awarded (PCNA) to Pass Certificate Awarded (PCA), will be issued only after receipt of the previous statement.  Unsuccessful candidates must also return their statement of marks to their school, in order for the Council to send them a certificate reflecting their updated results.

The marks obtained by the candidates in these examinations will be considered their final marks. Candidates who are unable to appear for their exams will be marked as absent, with their results remaining unchanged.

The students are expected to follow strict safety protocols in light of the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. All candidates are required to wear face masks and carry hand sanitizers to the examination centre.

The results for ICSE Class 10 and ISC Class 12 were declared on 24 July, with an overall pass percentage of 99.76 percent for ISC results and 99.98 percent for ICSE results. The students were graded on the basis of their previous results, as the final examinations had been cancelled due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
