The board that conducts ICSE exam has decided to model its question papers for its Class XII school-leaving test on the CBSE pattern from 2018, opting for an alignment with the country’s largest school board. The new pattern, possibly with an eye on competitive exams conducted by the CBSE will be introduced from 2018 ISC exam, Gerry Arathoon, the chief executive and the secretary of the council said. The change will impact thousands of students in Bengal where ICSE schools number over 360, around seven times more than schools run by CBSE. Arathoon said that specimen question papers for ISC 2018 for Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics will be prepared on the CBSE pattern.
