Hey Students I have something for you if have the percentage more than 90+ in any stream

Just connect to me

I am writing to you as a concerned student who wishes to highlight a serious flaw in the ICSE evaluation system. This is not a complaint born out of frustration alone, but a call for fairness and transparency in the way marks are awarded.

Currently, the ICSE Class 10 examination consists of 80 marks for the written paper and 20 marks for internal assessment. While the written exam is conducted under strict CISCE supervision, the internal marks are left entirely to schools. These 20 marks are then merged with the written marks, and the final score is published as a single number. Students and parents never see the breakdown of written and internal marks.

The problem is that in many schools, the internal marks are not awarded according to CISCE’s prescribed criteria. External examiners often do not come for oral or practical assessments. Instead, the same teacher who taught the class conducts the evaluation and internal marks are linked to private tuition. Students who attend a teacher’s tuition classes receive inflated marks, while those who do not are penalized, regardless of their performance in the written exam. This practice erases merit and rewards compliance over hard work.

This system causes immense injustice to students, distorts merit, and normalizes corruption. Every year, many students are affected, but the injustice remains invisible because internal marks are hidden.

I urge CISCE to adopt two urgent reforms:

1. Publish written and internal marks separately on marksheets. Transparency alone will ensure accountability, as students and parents can question discrepancies.
2. Ensure oral and practical exams are conducted with the same level of rules and regulations as of written exams. Inspectors and external examiners must be present, and schools must be audited to prevent manipulation of internal marks.

Without these reforms, the current system amounts to institutionalized cheating, where schools misuse their power and CISCE’s silence legitimizes the injustice. Students deserve fairness, parents deserve clarity, and the integrity of the ICSE examination must be protected.

I hope the Council will take this matter seriously and act to restore trust in the system.

Edit : CBSE board and all other state boards split the marks in the marksheet. Then why not ICSE ?

Edit 2 - Thanks everyone for comments and upvotes, this proves many schools misuse internal marks and this is a serious issue in many schools. We urge ICSE to release Internal marks as transparency is the only fix...

Sincerely, A Concerned Student

So in our school our parents have a separate 10th WhatsApp group and over there they were discussing ki the marks on the marksheet will be of the first 5 subjects and not best of 4 plus English … is this true??? If so then I’m k m s

I have heard that for class 11th this year (2027) , we have to prepare both JAVA and PYTHON for our upcoming boards in 2028.

Is this news true or not?

Thanks in advance.

How many have you applied for rechecking?

This is gonna be a long rant so buckle up. I live in Andhra Pradesh in a mid sized town which and studied in icse upto class 10 . My parents are dentists and my mom is from Bangalore so I am used to the Bangalore culture and thought after my 10th I'll go there but instead my parents kept me in tirupati hostel and I went there for a week and didn't like it all . I'm very grateful to have parents who understand and love me so I think I'm attached but the people I met in tirupati don't match with me at all .they are like the same people I met in my town but this college is supposedly very good and has gotten good ranks (on par with narayana/sri Chaitanya) but I don't think I can adjust there at all . I went for a week and now every night I'm getting dreams(nightmares) that I'm stuck there like in jail and can't get out. I think it's better if I study in Bangalore or in my hometown but I'm not sure what to do I'm scared shitless . I have good speaking skills well educated got 85% in icse (ik it's not topper level) and I belive i have good potential but I don't wanna fuck up my life because every time I hear that doing engineering is shit and you're probably not gonna get any jobs (im thinking to do mba too but idk) and now I have time untill June 2 to go back and once I go back i can't get out . No phone,no going out nothing can only talk to parents for 12 minutes twice a week I don't think I can fit in there the food and facilities are good but the people I don't like at all . I'm at my breaking point so I hope you strangers can give me some advice 👍🏻

Same as title

drop your prayer requests and don't worry, I will pray for you all, have faith in God, and don't doubt what's gonna happen, if you gonna fail or not, don't listen to thoughts or emotions, feelings, trust on who knows everything, if you can't sleep, even if you're not worrying, or worrying, just use your phone, or play peaceful music in the background, like, scizzle aquatic ambience, TRUST GOD Y'ALL, 🤍💪🏻🗿
