ICSE vs SSC board comparison

[Anuj Bhola]

Hello sir I want to compare the ICSE and SSC board so please provide me differences between these two boards.

There are namely four common boards like the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), ICSE (Indian Certificate is Secondary Education), IB (International Baccalaureate) and State Boards.

SSC:

Secondary School Certificate, commonly known as SSC, is a public examination taken by students in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Goa in India.

State Boards are comparatively limited in the content and subjects as compared to other boards.

The syllabus is easier and hence less stressful to the students.

The State language is compulsory

As the concepts are generally lagging the kids have to be given external coaching, if planning for IIT, CAT and other competitive exams.

These schools are great for kids who are focused on extracurricular activities like sports etc.

ICSE (Indian Certificate is Secondary Education)

The council conducts an all India exam for Class 10 called ICSE (Indian Certificate for Secondary Education) and for class 12 called the Indian School Certificate (ISC).

The ICSE board follows the basics strengthening syllabus.

The entire introduction is repeated and then quadratic equations are handled. Even questions are based on the basics.

There is lot of focus on language and literature. So good for kids wanting to make a career which involves writing, reading, talking, debating, arguing, surveying, historians, geologist etc

This curriculum is very good when it comes to general knowledge and general subjects

This board is also good for competitive exams like IIT, IIM, CAT, All India entrance exams, but needs extra time and coaching.

ICSE syllabus is particularly important for students who prefer higher education abroad.

Exams like GRE, TOEFL and GMAT have a lot of verbal ability testing.

This makes the student extremely active and it improves his thinking ability.
