Hello,
I want to know about which Board
is better ICSE or CBSE? My son
is studying in 7th standard of ICSE Board
but he wants to join CBSE Board now.
Kindly tell me which is better?

Both CBSE and ICSE are all-India based boards and both of them are good for any standard. You can opt for any one of them as per your convenience. However, it is better to go for ICSE till tenth. This is because -

- The standard of english is very high and good in ICSE board curriculum.
- Mathematics is of higher standard in ICSE than CBSE.
- The examination pattern is application based so you get to know your concepts better.

I would refer you to go for CBSE board as it would help your child to get much exposure in future because of it s education system and widely accepted pattern.

Moreover, in most of the competitive examinations, CBSE study and test pattern is followed, therefore it can help your child in many ways, he/she can get much exposure to the entrance examination at earlier stage.

Maximum people tend to move towards CBSE board after 10th because of he following two reasons;

> The syllabus of entrance exams are at par with the syllabus laid down by CBSE.

> English is easier and no compulsion of second language, hence more attention can be given to the core subjects.
