Indian Certificate of Secondary Education

The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) is an examination conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, a private board designed to provide a course of general education in accordance with the recommendations of the New Education Policy 1986 (India), through the medium of English. Private candidates are not permitted to appear for this examination.

Candidates typically study six or seven subjects, with one to three papers in each subject. This results in a total of eight to eleven papers, depending on the subject combination. For subjects with multiple papers (e.g., Science), marks are calculated by averaging all papers within that subject.
