ICSE stands for Indian Certificate of Secondary Education. It is a curriculum followed by many schools in India, which prepares students for the ICSE board examinations at the 10th grade level.

Both ICSE and CBSE syllabi have their own level of difficulty. ICSE is known for its detailed and comprehensive syllabus with a focus on English language and literature. CBSE, on the other hand, emphasizes application-based learning and has a slightly broader syllabus. Ultimately, the difficulty level depends on individual student's learning style and capability.

It depends on the specific year and curriculum for ICSE. "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry is a popular short story and it may be included in the ICSE syllabus for English literature in some years. It's best to check the latest curriculum or syllabus guidelines for accurate information.

The ICSE board follows the NCERT curriculum for Sanskrit. The syllabus includes topics like prose, poetry, grammar, and comprehension exercises to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of the language. Students are also expected to study ancient Sanskrit texts and literature as part of their coursework.
what type of questions are asked in exam?
I studied in CBSE for 12 years, from Kintergarden to Xth and moved over to State Board (TN) for my higher secondary. From my experience, I would rate ICSE to be the toughest, followed by CBSE and State. ICSE / CBSE syllabi are designed to promote thinking among children, going by the way examination questions are framed (answers to questions are not directly found in textbooks but are related to the syllabus) whereas state board examinations are usually straightforward questions from the book. The downside of ICSE / CBSE (esp if you happen to be in TN) is that you stand a much lesser chance of landing a seat in popular colleges (Engg / Med) since the entrance exams for these are based on state board syllabus and students from state board score much higher than those from ICSE / CBSE since they are considered on a level platform irrspective of the boards. also it is the cbse syllabus which helps one to crack all sorts of competitive exams and it brings out the true knowledge of a person.
