Which board my child should study? Which one is the best among those available in the market? State board or national or international board? These are few questions that pop up in one’s mind while deciding future of one’s children education. Choosing the best board among mushrooming boards in the country is a tough task. Tougher is to compare the boards. However, one always chooses either Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) or Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) most of the time.
Below comparison will surely help one decide which one is the best for your ward.
CBSE is the main board for school level education in India. It conducts two all India level examinations -All India Secondary School Examination, AISSE (Class X) and the All India Senior School Certificate Examination, AISSCE (Class XII). Whereas ICSE is also one of the popular boards of India that conducts three examinations-ICSE (Class X), ISC (class XII) and CVE for class XII again.
CBSE allows both regular and private candidate to appear for its exams while ICSE allows only private candidates.
In CBSE, both English and Hindi are the medium of instruction while ICSE follows only English. CBSE is recognised by the Indian government whereas ICSE is not yet recognised. However, most of the Indian universities recognised both CBSE and ICSE.
For all the major competitive examinations like AIEEE, PMT etc, syllabus of CBSE is more suitable than that of ICSE. However, in exams like IELTS, TOEFL etc., ICSE students have an edge over their CBSE counterparts.
In CBSE, assessment of students is mostly based on the overall score of the final board exams but it has adopted new patter for its class X students. While in ICSE, internal assessment plays a vital role as it is aggregated in the overall score.
ICSE offers plethora of subjects to opt for unlike CBSE.
The above comparison will surely help parents in deciding their wards’ future. Nevertheless, bright future doesn’t necessarily is in the hands of boards but it lies with individual’s performance too.
