Under ICSE, a strong emphasis is laid on vital and practical tests and assignments. The marks of these tests are aggregated with the overall scores of the student. ICSE also lays strong emphasis on Lab work in subjects such as Science and Math.
The ICSE examination question paper is a balance of objective and subjective questions. Both have to have equal priority or weight. There are projects of almost all the subjects which help the students to get a deeper understanding of the subject.
The school conducts periodic Unit Assessments and two Terminal Assessments including several units of study.
Promotions are decided on the student’s progress throughout the year based on the periodic assessment and the terminal assessments.
ICSE Board students are awarded grades as well as marks. The ICSE Grading system ranges from 1 to 9. Socially Useful Productive Work and Community Service will be shown on the result sheets by grades A, B, C, D or E.
