What options are available after completing the IGCSE Programme? Our IGCSE students can follow the AS / A level / IB Diploma Programme in classes XI and XII. Other options include GCE A level, the Advanced International Certificate of Education and the North American Placement Test or can also shift to Indian State Board for Standards XI & XII . The IGCSE board examinations are held in May-June and the results are announced online in the 2nd week of August or in November for which the certificates are issued in February. Although these timelines do not synchronize with the admission schedules of the Indian +2 boards (ISC/CBSE/HSC), IGCSE students may seek provisional admission to them on the basis of the predicted grades. Not withstanding the above position, the time-lag between the announcement of IGCSE results and the class XI admission timelines in India acts, to some extent, as a limiting factor with respect to options within the Indian curriculum. It is also pertinent to note that students who pursue programmes like the IB Diploma, GCE A level and so on, after their IGCSE class X, will also have the option to study with universities in India.
