Hi,
My son is 16 years of age. Is he eligible in 9th class in ICSE Board in this academic session? Please answer me immediately.

Yes, your son is eligible to study 9th standard in ICSE Board school being a 16 years old candidate. There is no minimum and maximum age limit set by ICSE for pursuing 9th standard. Candidates who have qualified 8th standard examinations are eligible to study 9th standard. However, the actual age that a candidate should have while pursuing 9th standard is 14-15 years. Since, your son is 16 years old, there will be not any age problem for him for pursuing 9th standard in ICSE Board school.

Eligibility Criteria Required for admission into 9th Class of ICSE board:

I am very happy to say that there is no particular age criteria required for getting admission in ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education Examination) board.

This following sentence is clearly mentioned in an ICSE Notification that "There is NO age limit for candidate taking the examination". As it is clearly mentioned that there is no certain age criteria required for getting admission in ICSE board school, I am very sure that you are certainly eligible to get admission in 9th Class of ICSE board.
