CBSE Schools - The Best Of Both Worlds

The debate between CBSE schools, ICSE schools and state board schools has been going on since an eternity amongst the top schools in India. Students and alums of each sector advocate the superiority of their board. Many people say that it doesn’t matter what board one attends, all that matters is the school, the principal and the teachers that one is fortunate enough to have.

However, if we are to look very objectively, CBSE is the best of both worlds. It is kind of the middle ground when it comes the level of difficult of the syllabus it comes to. Generally, the state board syllabus is considered to be easier than CBSE board, and in turn, the CBSE board is easier than ICSE board.

This level of difficulty also translates to board exams. In state board schools, the kind of expectation in terms of answer papers  is very rigid. There is no expectation of innovative answers or out of the box questions.

On the other hand, when it comes to CBSE board, the level of difficulty of syllabus is a bit high, but the exams are quite simple. All that the examinators look for is whether or not you have understood the basic concept. A lot of people appreciate this because they advocate that in the end, that is all that matters - basic understanding of the concepts.

When it comes to ICSE board, the level of difficulty is pretty high. The syllabus is more in-depth than both the other boards, and so are the exams. Not only are you expected to show your understanding of concepts, but you also need to present in a really good way and convince the examiner that your understanding of the topic is very good. That is the only way to get more marks.

So if you are confused what is the bandwidth of your child, it is recommended to send them to the best CBSE school that you can send them too!
