When 15-year-old Aarav switched from an ICSE to a CBSE school due to a family move, he thought English would be the one subject that remained consistent. Instead, he found himself navigating shorter questions, stricter word limits, and a completely different exam style. 'The shift wasn't just about textbooks it felt like learning a new language all over again,' he , one of the core subjects across Indian education boards is taught and tested differently by CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) and ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education). And while both boards aim to build language skills, the approach, depth, and expectations vary VS ICSE: ENGLISH BY THE BOOK(S)While CBSE is India's most widespread school board, ICSE verned by the CISCE is often chosen by parents seeking a "richer" language curriculum. But these are not value judgements; they're reflections of fundamentally different academic English typically follows the NCERT curriculum, which is streamlined, pragmatic, and closely aligned with national-level entrance English is split into two papers: Language and Literature, and is known for its literary depth and focus on formal grammar."ICSE expects students to read between the lines. In CBSE, it's more about understanding the lines clearly," says Ritu Bhatnagar, an English teacher who has taught both boards for over 18 years. TEACHING STYLE: EXPRESSION VS EFFICIENCYIn ICSE classrooms, students are often encouraged to write longer, more descriptive answers showcasing not just what they know, but how well they can articulate it. "ICSE builds confidence in writing. We're taught to express, not just respond," says Viha Shah, a Class 10 ICSE student from the other hand, CBSE promotes structured, exam-oriented formats. Answers are expected to be concise and relevant, often in bullet points or short paragraphs."CBSE English helped me crack the CUET easily because I was used to objective comprehension questions and fast writing formats," says Rishabh Jain, a recent CBSE graduate now preparing for Delhi HOW BOARDS JUDGE LANGUAGE SKILLSICSE assessments tend to favor interpretation and creativity. In the Language paper, 20 marks are reserved for composition writing alone, where creativity and coherence matter more than "correct" answers. In Literature, ICSE often expects textual analysis with literary terms like imagery, irony, or however, leans on clarity. In the 2024 Class 10 English Language and Literature exam, reading comprehension carried 20 marks, and literature sections were largely short-answer based, according to the CBSE marking ON HIGHER EDUCATION AND CAREERSThere's a common myth that ICSE English "helps you speak better" or that CBSE "prepares you for exams" both partly true, but neither is wholly competitive exams like JEE, NEET, or CUET, CBSE's format aligns more closely with multiple-choice and time-bound humanities aspirants or those pursuing careers in law, liberal arts, journalism, or international studies, ICSE's early literary training can be an 2023 report by the Council for Indian School Certificate Examinations showed that ICSE students scored an average of 84% in English, while CBSE's average English score was 77%.

Meet Amuthavalli and Susanya, mother-daughter duo who cracked NEET exam together, they have decided to...., are from....
Meet Amuthavalli and Susanya, mother-daughter duo who cracked NEET exam together, they have decided to...., are from.... An aspiring story comes from Tamil Nadu, where a mother-daughter duo have cracked the National Eligibility cum Entrance test, NEET UG 2025 together. The mother is a 49 year old physiotherapist, and the teenage daughter became a duo and had a set goal-to crack the exam. This heart-warming achievement of the duo has motivated a lot of people across the country, and has garnered quite some attention! Nearly three decades after she aspired to become a doctor, Amuthavalli Manivannan will finally get to wear the white coat, and achieve her dreams. Her daughter, M Samyuktha is also set to begin her medical journey. So, how is this success story different? This mother-daughter duo, took up a great challenge, to pass the exam together, and pursue a dream with motivation, unwavering support and love of each other! From exchanging books to quizzing each other, they left no stone unturned, and completely turned their house into a shared study zone. 'My Daughter Inspired Me' 'My ambition, which had faded with time, came alive again when I watched my daughter prepare for NEET. She inspired me. I borrowed her books, watched her study habits, and began preparing seriously,' shares mother Amuthavalli. While the daughter was busy attending coaching classes in order to cover the intense syllabus of NEET, she had no idea she would be becoming her own mother's mentor. 'I find it easier to remember things when I explain them to someone. And who better than my mother? She understood the concepts quickly- perhaps because of her medical background,' daughter M Samyuktha shares. Mother was unable to pursue MBBS due to Financial Issues Three decades ago, Amuthavalli had once dreamt of pursuing MBBS, but wasn't able to do so because of family and financial constraints. She went on and became a Physiotherapist instead. This year, she went ahead to give the test, and scored 147 marks in NEET, which qualified her under the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwD) category. She proceeded to participate in state counselling and opted for a Government Medical College in Virudhunagar, nearby her home. Her daughter score 450 marks, and wants to study in a college, maybe even outside the state, 'I'd like to study in a different college, maybe even outside Tamil Nadu. Studying in the same class as my mother might be a bit awkward,' said Samyuktha with a smile. Amutthavalli says her journey was not easy, especially her adjusting to the new NEET syllabus, which is extremely different from what she studied in school. But her daughter's unwavering support helped her keep chasing her dream. 'There were nights I couldn't sleep because I was worried I'd forgotten everything, but I kept going,' she admitted. One Lawyer in a Family of Doctors Something that makes the story special is that it is not just about two women working hard, but it is also about their support system. 'My husband, a lawyer by profession, stood by us like a rock. He never hesitated to give us time, space, and encouragement to prepare,' said Amuthavalli. Their journey stands as a reminder that it's never too late to chase a dream, and all it needs is motivation and the dedication to keep continuing until your goal is achieved.
