Holding physical exams as per the schedule and ensuring the safety of our learners has been a great accomplishment and I would like to thank Cambridge schools for their commitment and support.”
The release of today’s results means that thousands of Cambridge students across the country can apply for admission to universities and colleges in India, as well as in the US and UK including the University of Cambridge. The March series is popular with Indian students as it enables them to get their results in time to meet local university admission deadlines. More than 500 schools across India offer Cambridge programmes and qualifications. The Cambridge Pathway curriculum offers over 70 subjects at Cambridge IGCSE and over 55 subjects at Cambridge International AS and A Level, and a choice of three exam series each year.
