The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) is an examination conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE), a non-governmental board of school education in India (10th and 12th). It was designed to provide an examination in terms of general education through the medium of English. Besides, ICSE has taken a lot of structures and formats from the NCERT.

CISCE (ICSE) takes a balanced view on language, arts and science.
Internal assessments are given more importance where practical tests are aggregated with the overall scores. More weightage is given to lab work and practices.
