The 10th Grade board examinations are conducted by the state board (SSC/SSLC), the Central Board of Secondary Education (All India Secondary School Examination) and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ICSE). 10th Grade board exams are important for the continuation of senior secondary education. On completion of the 10th Grade board exam, students are enabled to choose a singular ‘stream’ of subjects such as science, commerce and arts (humanities) to study at the senior secondary level.
The 12th Grade board examinations are conducted by the state board (HSC), the Central Board of Secondary Education (AISSCE) and the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (ISC).
