Icse Vs Cbse

[krates]

So which one do you think is better ???

i prefer ICSE

[Liverpool_fan]

Have you studied in both?

I'll say CBSE because I studied with it...

[Coool]

Any day ICSE over CBSE.....
Did'nt studied both

[utsav]

ICSE ftw it has syllabus based on Cambridge University and has a good reputation worldwide.

[gopi_vbboy]

Both suck in terms of quality of education but depends on school


im from cbse...felt ok...

icse is more worse........

[utsav]

If ICSE is worse then CBSE is worst

[Kl@w-24]

ICSE has a much better standard. I've studied in an ICSE school and also a CBSE school.

[s_arka_r]

I've studied in ICSE upto 10th, n CBSE for my +2....
It depends on wat u want to call good...
I mean ICSE is tougher than CBSE so puts u under a lot of pressure...
So, i think CBSE is better, it gives me more free tym....

[utsav]

Yeah ICSE is way tougher than CBSE. and is way too detailed which gives a good base to a student.

I've studied in both mediums - CBSE from the 1st to the 8th and ICSE from then on. IMO, CBSE has a lot more theory while ICSE places a lot more emphasis on practical work. For some reason, Hindi under CBSE was frackin difficult to score while ICSE was pretty easy, possibly due to the slightly more lenient scoring system. However, the option to learn French in the CBSE system was a vital plus while Accounts under ICSE was quite boring to be honest. The fact that ICSE is slightly easier is evidenced by my annual % graph - I went down to 80% in the 8th grade but shot back up to 95% in ICSE.

learning french is also an option in ICSE .it depends on the school which subjects they are offering. I had 7 subjects in ISC 10+2 and also 4 books in english instead of the standard 2 books prescribed by the counsil. My neighbour guy in CBSE had just 5 subjects and used to get lot more free time to enjoy.
And the theory quality is way better in ICSE.

International Baccalaureate anyone?

[Psychosocial]

Icse

[Rahim]

ICSE gives marks to students like khairaat. Freemein le jao. Even average students score in higher 80s. If you go through the school's marks of ICSE students, all they get is 55-60. But the moment they give thier Board's exams..they eng up getting 85-90 I am not kealous of their marks but a little angry where high marks should be for really merit students not for any champu. Got my point. It pains to see stupid students, who doent study at all, being reqrded so kindly ubder ICSE.

[comp@ddict]

ICSE better? Yeah i've seen the "herd" of books they have to carry and read.

CBSE is loads better off than ICSE for sure.

[SunnyChahal]

Both suck!

[confused!!]

I studied in ICSE till 12th. I don't know anything about CBSE but one thing about ICSE is they are very liberal while giving marks..at least till 10th.

My science coaching master in 11th said that ICSE is much tougher than CBSE but my friends in CBSE deny that

Thats exactly the point. Awarding high marks to champus.

[confused!!]

^^Champus??Tu bola nahin kidhar se aaya..teri baaton se lag raha hai ki you are from CBSE

Am a stupid champu then . I won several state level competitions and also was the 1st runner up of Bournvita quiz contest in UP in 2004.even the winner was a ICSE student . I got 85.8% marks in my 10th in ICSE and 85% with 7 subjects in 12th(u read it right ,7 subjects and not just 5) and i know how much i studied for it.

I agree that a student struggles to score marks in school exams but scores high marks in ICSE boards. Its only because ISCE board schools follow very strict standards and make extremely tough question papers . I know when i used to show my school question papers to my frnds in CBSE schools they almost used to piss in their pants. They were not from any ordinary CBSE school but well known schools like Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalaya and many others.

Another point. Almost 70%of the students in my city who get thru IIT and AIEEE are ICSE students and just 25% are CBSE students. Ohh i forgot. ICSE students r champu morons thats y .

And dude, scoring 85-90-95% aint easy in ICSE. U need to have extreme command over the subject and ur accuracy needs to be very high only then u can expect 90%+


I had two friends Kaizad (2 yrs senior) and Gaurav (3 yrs senior). Both were frm ICSE board.

Kaizad got 91.4% and got 214 AIR in IIT and presently he is in IIT-K.

Gaurav got 97.2% and got 5th rank AIR in IIT and he is in IIT-M now. He was the 2nd all india ranker in ICSE 12th .

If they r stupid champus then how the heck they got thru IIT?


I hope you got my points that ICSE students r no less than CBSE students.

Whats ur experience regarding this?
U r just a kid who i think havnt even appeared for 10th i think and giving comments like a experienced teacher.

Way to go dude. Way to go....

[alexanderthegreat]

I'll pick ICSE any day! Having to run off each day to some other town just because the examination centre is located there appeals to me as a bad idea. In fact, many a times have I replied to CBSE students with a "What "Centre kahan para?"?!?".

Who are you to stop me from expressing my thoughts?

And anywayz, I've given my thoughts, comment, don't question their very existence.

Do anything u want. I dont care abt guys like u who think themselves to b superior . And in some cases thoughts should not be given jus like that which u r doing. There should be a solid base for everything u speak (specially in places like public forums).

And yea .learn some manners of how to talk with sum1 who is elder than u. Gagandeep and krates(kushagra) here in the forum r much more mannered than u in ur age group. Learn sumthing frm them too.

Age is no consideration for respect in a forum..Knowledge is. Anyway Respect is earned not demanded...

Anyways IMO there should not be any boards at all. You have everthing to lose in them. If you score well, it would be said everybody does so and no big deal at all and if you do bad, well your career has been smashed...
Not to mention they are nothing but a distraction for science students of class XII..
Thank God I have given both my boards...

@utsav - You think you have to be intelligent to get into IIT? Hmm think again. BTW IIT-Kharakpur or some other branch, 100 students failed in their first year. You don't really have to be intelligent for competitive exams, I mean these college enterance exams.

That happens in every college. Thank the government for the &h!tty reservation system bcoz of which students who r not worth to b in these colleges are getting in and failing and commiting suicide in large numbers. Jus think on it. I found it to b correct.

Well keep reservations aside. Take SAT for example, my friend who almost tops the school without even studying got only 1500 in SAT. There are people who just know 'HOW TO SOLVE' those exams. I know people in Kota who spend two years just learning how to solve IIT questions. I mean you are not even supposed to be intelligent. If you know how to solve those kinda questions you are done. They mug up all the tactics, all patterns and stuff and pass and then fail in first year.

Ohh, u mean am a n00b na? Widout any knowlege and common sense?
And am not demanding any respect from u all. I hav enough respect among the old members of this forum.


All i was saying was if u cant giv respect to any1 then you have no right to insult any1.

I agree to this to some extent. But u just cant solve a question of differentiation when u dont know whats the differentiation of sin x. U need to study too else no exam can be cracked just by mugging up tactics .Got my point?


And u cant keep that reservation thing aside. Thats the fact.

[shashank_re]

CBSE has LOT better quality than ICSE or IGCSE.
