ICSE Class 10 All Subjects Semester (1 & 2) Syllabus

The Extramarks website provides students with the 10th-grade syllabus, which one can easily access and study. Extramarks have made it extremely easy with the introduction of these documents for students to study and know about the topics in their examination. 

ICSE Class 10 Semester Wise Syllabus    

Extramarks provide the students with all the required ICSE syllabus related to all the subjects of the standard tenth. Knowing the syllabus is extremely important as it helps the student know what topics of the subject he/ she has to focus on and what parts of the subject are omitted. Extramarks also describe the syllabus in a well-oriented manner, that is, in a manner based on the semesters so that the student does not waste time studying a part of the subject that is not included in the semester.

Advantages of selecting the ICSE Education  

Education provided to students studying at an ICSE board has some advantages –

• The ICSE Class tenth Mathematics syllabus will assist students in improving their overall preparation and thereby pass the exams with excellent grades.
• A clear and planned syllabus provides learners with the correct sequence for preparing and understanding all of the important parts of a subject.
• It saves students from having to hunt for an organized document containing all of the relevant theories and concepts for a specific course.
• The syllabus provides students with an understanding of the main themes and sub-topics covered in their school.
• The ICSE syllabus for Class 10 is authorized by a recognized board, ensuring that students receive accurate information on the topics included in the syllabus that are to be studied. 

CBSE vs ICSE: Which is Better? 

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) are two boards that are widely considered by parents for their children’s education. The difference in the methodology of studying rests in the curriculum covered, the extent of information supplied, and the educational objectives reached by both boards. Choosing the correct board is an important factor in determining your child’s future and general development.

The gap between the CBSE and ICSE boards is due to the enormous differences in the curriculum. The CBSE curriculum emphasizes subjects like Science and Mathematics, whereas the ICSE curriculum emphasizes subjects like Art, Language, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, etc.

Another difference is the structure of the syllabus. The CBSE board, on the other hand, offers a clear and simple syllabus that provides subject knowledge in a fairly light manner, whereas ICSE provides a much more complex and detailed syllabus.

ICSE Class 10 Subject Group    

ICSE Class 10th Subject Group consists of three groups

Group 1 – Compulsory Subjects in ICSE Class 10

• Second Languages- Indian Languages or Modern Foreign Languages
• English
