  1. Good comparison! Can we also have CBSE and CBSE-I comparison? Students studied in these two different curriculam will be treated at the same cut-off marks while admission in Indian universities?

  2. I feel ICSE is a better choice for the students rather than CBSE pattern. since in INDIA cbse is more relevant and is simple ,competitive, but as far as Icse is concerned it is some how holds a great advantage over CBSE. But the syllabus is considerably tougher than CBSE. My son is studying at Inventure Academy International School for the last 3 years and I’m extremely happy about my decision of choosing Inventure schools. One thing which really stands out at Inventure is that the environment is very friendly and nuturing.

  3. Is there sufficient trained teachers for ICSE in India? To be a ICSE teacher, what is the qualification they should have? As a parent, how to evaluate a school whether they has good trained & experienced teachers

  4. I think ICSE is the best syllabus but in tamilnadu very less schools . I am very confused . CBSE school also very less in tamilnadu every where matric school there, but andhra there is every where CBSE school there. That why AP people’s are scoring comtitive exams huge.

  5. ICSE is boring if it supports liberal arts and vocational courses. Also education is one thing in which INDIA is much ahead of the US and Europe as, at least in medical and engineering courses, the level of difficulty is very high in India. Don’t get fooled by the lists which show the rankings of iit on a global scale, these lists are highly biased as they try to undermine iits. I would recommend a purely academic and theoretical approach through CBSE and to continue in India upto PG. After that one can go abroad for better opportunities and good standard of life. This is just the show off and pomp and show of the urban India to go in ICSE schools. They just try to copy the American system of grades and credits because they are filled with complexes. What is the advantage of IB or Horse riding. Do you want to become a bounty hunter?????

  6. NCERT surveyors visited 7216 schools, affiliated to all state boards and 2 national boards, and tested 277416 students on 5 subjects with a standard set of multiple questions. This survey by NCERT bolsters the reality that ICSE

    students are far better than students of other boards. In the current wave of

    competitions including IIT/JEE, somewhere it was believed mostly led by

    coaching institutions & other vested interests, that CBSE should be the

    preferred board for all to compete. Despite all the false propaganda by vested

    interests, when we compare all the board students on a common platform (as was done by NCERT in this survey), ICSE outshine others in comparisons. If we compare

    ICSE students with CBSE students on key subjects such as English, Science and

    Mathematics, the differences are stark – ranging from 19% in Science, 22% in

    Mathematics to 23% in English. However, the difference between ICSE and WB

    Board students is staggering – ranging from 66% in Science, 53% in Mathematics

    to 91% in English. The vested interests have led us to falsely believe that

    ICSE board’s syllabus is not modern and up to date. However, the results are

    for everyone to see. This survey benchmarks all the national and state boards

    of the country on a common platform. It also serves as a bellwether to all

    stakeholders of education – school administrators, teachers and most

    importantly parents, to select a board that serves their purpose. Parents want

    best for their children and ICSE affiliated school could be an ideal

    first-school programme for your child to develop and compete in an

    ever-competitive world. For details about the survey, please refer The
