ICSE stands for Indian Certificate of Secondary Education. The board under which the ICSE
examinations are held is the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE). This
private, national education board was established in the year 1958 and works per the New
Education Policy 2020 norms.
The ICSE syllabus progresses very systematically from the basic level curriculum till grade 5 which
lays conceptual foundations for in-depth study which is undertaken at the higher grades. The
syllabus is designed to build well-rounded personalities and to inculcate practical skills among the
youth. The ICSE syllabus focuses majorly on the study of languages, especially English, and pays
special heed to social sciences.
ICSE grade 10 is a crucial academic point as the students have to appear for board exams. The
subjects that the student is to study are English, Mathematics, Science, History and Civics,
Geography and so on. The subjects are divided into three groups, the first group contains
compulsory subjects. In Grade 10 the emphasis is on scoring well. Both internal and external
assessment is undertaken. Understanding which skills to focus on for which paper is important for
obtaining good grades.
The ICSE board gains its credibility due to its high academic standards and diverse curriculum.
Thousands of schools are affiliated with CISCE which shows the influence of the board.
