Points to Note

1. The ISC curriculum has a high degree of complexity compared to other school boards, therefore we

request you to make an appropriate choice based on your child’s capabilities. We suggest that you

talk to his/her previous class teacher to have a clear idea of your child’s academic strengths and

weaknesses.

2. Some universities may have specific subject requirements for admissions into their degree

programs (ex. many colleges in Tamil Nadu require Mathematics up to XII standard in order to

become eligible for a B.Com course). Kindly keep this in mind while choosing your subjects.

3. Admission is contingent on your choice of subjects.

4. Students applying for admission to class XI must appear & pass an examination conducted by a

recognized board as per the CISCE requirements.

5. Student must have passed class X Examination from a Recognized Board in five written subjects at

one and the same sitting including English and they should have 4 subjects accepted by the Council.

predetermined courses. This is for your convenience and should not be relied as authoritative.
