Indian Certificate of Secondary Education

Indian Certificate of Secondary Education is a non-governmental board of examination by Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination for class 10. The board is designed to provide general education to the students for examinations. This was done through the New Education Policy 1986 (India). Before 1986, ICSE was affiliated by the French Board of Examination. The syllabus of ICSE class 10 is double the syllabus of CBSE class 10. Hence, it is considered to be the toughest board in India. The English of the board is quite difficult than other boards and good students have an edge in competition.

Central Board of Secondary Education

Under the Union Government is the secondary board of education(CBSE), which is found in both- public and private schools. The schools affiliated with it follow the NCERT curriculum. CBSE conducts examination for both class 10 and class 12 as well. The board used to also conduct examinations for AIEEE Examination for admissions in undergraduate courses like engineering and architecture. It also conducts examination for AIPMT for admission in the medical colleges in India.

National Institute of Open Schooling

Even though established for distance education, NIOS has become a formal and regular secondary and senior secondary program similar to CBSE. It also comes under the Union Government and its main aim to provide education to children living in the remote areas. Through this board, children can study without attending regular schools. This is also considered to be public examinations due to its flexibility. It was established by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in 1989.

International Baccalaureate

International Baccalaureate (IB) is a non-profit education system that is present in more than 3000 schools in 141 countries. IB has a different way of educating students and therefore, its content is extremely innovative. Its main aim is to help students develop in all aspects of life rather than just in academic sphere. At present, it can be seen in schools in the metro cities of India.

State Boards

It is difficult to state when exactly the concept of state board emerged. As the name suggests, each state conducts its examination for class 10 and 12 with accordance to their own state board. The benefit of a state board is that the students gain knowledge about their state and the topics are of local relevance.

Firstly, both the exams require certain qualifications to appear for the examinations. The UPSC examinations require the candidate to be between 21 years to 32 years of age (general category); the MPSC exams require the candidate to be between 18 years to 33 years of age (general category).

Secondly, while the candidate who wants to take the examination to be a part of MPSC has to either have a Bachelor’s degree from any recognized college or be in the last year of graduation; the participants of UPSC exams have to have a degree from a recognized college only and cannot appear while still in college.

Thirdly, a candidate from the general category can appear for the UPSC examination about four times; while for MPSC exams, one can appear as many times as one wants.

Fourth, apart from these criteria, one has to be a citizen of India or a person having Indian origin who has migrated from specific countries, in order to appear for UPSC exams. And for appearing in the MPSC exams, one has to be a citizen of India and have a permanent residence in the state of Maharashtra.

Lastly, although the pattern of the examination is the same, the syllabus for both is quite different.

Both exams have three levels— Preliminary exam, Main exam and Interview; covering all aspects of the country and the state. The UPSC and MPSC exams are two of the toughest examinations to crack as these determine the high officials for the governments.
