CBSE BOARD

The prime goal of the CBSE Board is to aid the Educational Institutions more adequately and efficiently and to be active to the educational requirements of those students whose parents were involved in the Central Government services and had repeatedly transferable jobs across the nation.

In India, an apex board of education is CBSE which is not only having a pan Indian jurisdiction but also has global presence with nearly 141 affiliated schools across 21 countries. CBSE allocates affiliation to Schools up to higher secondary level and flourishes common curriculum keeping nationwide requirements in focus. The CBSE affiliation is deliberate as an influential acknowledgement as it needs the schools to follow strict quality standards.

Through the regional offices that are set up by the CBSE, the body maintains educational standards across the country by monitoring the activities of these regional offices on a regular basis. These regional offices in various parts of the country take care of the day-to-day administration of the affiliated schools. Every year in the months of February and March, the CBSE Board organizes centralized examinations for 10th and 12^th classes.

History of CBSE in Education:

In 1952, the CBSE was given its present name ‘Central Board of Secondary Education’, and in the year 1962, the Board was reconstituted. The Board provides affiliations to various schools and all of them have to follow the NCERT curriculum. The CBSE jurisdiction stretches all over India as well as beyond the national geographical boundaries of the country. The CBSE Board has seen rapid growth and expansion at the level of Secondary education resulting in improved quality and standard of education in institutions. From 309 schools under it back in 1962, the Board now has 21,271 schools in India, 228 schools in 25 foreign countries. There are 1,138 Kendriya Vidyalayas, 3,011 Government/Aided Schools, 16,741 Independent Schools, 595 Jawahar Novodaya Vidyalayas and 14 Central Tibetan Schools, as on May 1, 2019. With its effective and powerful educational policies, CBSE has changed the education system of the nation.

The CBSE Board exam of Class 10^th is called All India Secondary School Examination (AISSE) and the board exams of Class 12^th is called – All India Senior School Certificate Examination (AISSCE).

IGCSE BOARD

What is IGCSE?

International General Certificate of Education is abbreviated by IGCSE .

It is an internationally reputed organization that offers high quality education to the global world.

Cambridge IGCSE is the world’s most renowned international qualification for the students between 14 to 16 year olds. It is recognised by well-known universities and employers all across the globe. Developed over 25 years ago, it is tried, tested and trusted by schools globally.

 Grading Pattern

• Like other advanced programmes, IGCSE offers an ample range of subjects and encourages high academic guidelines through a practical approach to learning and teaching.
• There is no limitation for assessment to conventional written papers. There are various tests like oral and listening tests are also conducted.
• The assessment is proposed at a huge range of students with different capabilities. It has an 8-point grading scale, from A+ to G, with A+ being the highest.
• Most subjects give an alternative between the core curriculum and extended curriculum. This gives you the independence to opt subjects and the favourable circumstances to score good grades.
• The core curriculum is an analysis of the subject and is appropriate for students who are expected to accomplish grades C to G. Specialisation in that subject is extended curriculum. It is more challenging and planned for students who are expected to accomplish grades A+ to C.
• IGCSE syllabus is made for a multilingual and multicultural audience.
• Currently, IGCSE is a 2-year programme starting at the Class 9 level.
• In June this year, CIE has announced the launch of its new Cambridge International Primary Programme. The introduction of this programme means that you will be able to study in the IGCSE board from age 5 till age 18.

 What are the subjects in the IGCSE curriculum?

In IGCSE, there are five subject groups with assorted subjects to opt from each group:

• Group 1: Languages (1^st language, 2^nd language, foreign language, etc)
• Group 2: Humanities and Social Sc. (English Literature, Geography, History, etc)
• Group 3: Sciences (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, etc)
• Group 4: Mathematics (Maths, Additional Maths, etc)
• Group 5: Creative, Technical and Vocational (Business Studies, Accounting, Music, Computer Studies, etc)

For each subject, the certificate slightly signifies the grades scored, and not pass or fail. Five scores of 'C' or higher indicates your readiness to pursue 12^th level qualifications, like the Class XII CBSE, IB Diploma, Advanced Placement Diploma (US), etc.

• The ICE is more influential than the standard IGCSE.
• Alternatively of the 5 papers required to clear the IGCSE board exam, if you attempt and pass seven or more papers, you are awarded the ICE.
• The seven subjects must be as follows:

1. Two subjects from the language group
2. One from each of the other four groups
3. One more from any of the five groups

What is special about the IGCSE Board?

What make a distinction it from the other boards like ICSE, CBSE, and IB board:

• If you have cleared Class X from the IGCSE board, you can directly get admission in Class XII of a CBSE or ICSE board.
• According to the standards of the IB boards, you can also get admission at the diploma level. This is helpful if you want to save 1 year in your education.
• This board has presence in 150 countries. In India, 200 schools are affiliated with it. This number is expected to grow.
• It conducts curricular activities at the international level.
• It conducts regular mental and physical health checkups for its students.
• It targets on practical knowledge over completely conceptual knowledge.
• It does not follow a marking system. It has a grading system ranging from A  to G (where A for top and G for bottom).
• The syllabus may be more challenging than other boards, but it provides multilingual and multicultural support.

Some IGCSE board schools of India are

• Ryan International School, New Delhi
• Calcutta International School, Kolkata
• The International School of Bangalore, Bangalore
• Good Shepherd International School, Ooty
• Indus International School, Bangalore
• Parkwood School International, Hyderabad
• Ahmedabad International School, Ahmedabad
• Riverdale International School, Pune
• Ecole Mondiale World School, Mumbai
• Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai
• Woodstock School, Mussoorie
• G D Goenka World School, Gurgaon
• DPS International School, Delhi
• Pathways World School, Gurgaon

STATE BOARD

State boards are particular to each State and pursue separate syllabus and grading methods. Every state board has its own educational way which causes a difference in the syllabus from one state to another state in India.

Objective: Its main focus is on state level topics and content of local pertinence which aids students in preparing for state level engg. and medical entrance examinations.

Syllabus: The syllabus is usually restricted when distinguished to other boards. Regional languages and culture have a conspicuous place in the syllabus. Some state boards have ordered all their schools to follow NCERT books only which are necessary for students to prepare for pan India examinations.

Examinations: Examinations are conducted in each class. In Class 10, the students appear for Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and the Class 12 students appear for the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC) exams.
