ICSE

Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) examinations represent the annual class X examinations conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), a non-government board. The examination is conducted throughout India across select schools affiliated to CISCE through English medium.

ICSE essentially extends uniformity to the system of evaluation for general education, like AISSE examinations by CBSE. However, the CBSE and ICSE differ in terms of their content and approach. ICSE is generally considered the toughest board examination in India.

Meritnation understands the importance of good marks for a student when appearing for ICSE examinations. This why we offer some specially-designed study courses for students that make ICSE examinations seem a lot easier.
