Tough questions in CBSE and ICSE board

Talking about the CBSE board, the curriculum offered in the national board covers the syllabus in a analytical way but is not counted among the toughest boards of the country. Also, the ICSE board is one of the most challenging board but still misses out from toughest boards’ list.

CBSE’s proposed global curriculum to be available for other international schools

The global curriculum being prepared by CBSE for its foreign schools can also be offered by other international schools as well as those affiliated to the board in India, according to officials.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is in process of firming up plans to introduce the curriculum from 2026-27 academic session and a meeting has been called this week to discuss further before a draft is rolled out in public domain.

Last week, Union Education Minister had chaired a meeting where CBSE was directed to prepare a detailed action plan with modalities of establishing and implementing the global curriculum.
