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.
yes
icse
ICSE is tougher than CBSE
cbse is better than ssc and icse
cbse
CBSE would be better for IIT-JEE.
I think ICSE goes one class ahead of CBSE till 10 class after that you better go for CBSE because most of the competetive exam follow the pattern of CBSE.
Raj Vedanta School offers the nationally recognized curriculum of ICSE ( The Indian Certificate of Secondary Education). Students learn through inquiry-based instruction that is tailored to students' needs. Students develop a love for learning and sound judgment. Ultimately, we provide our graduates with a framework for understanding the world and the skills to succeed in it. ICSE syllabus has the upper hand when it comes to practical knowledge while the CBSE syllabus is only better for theoretical knowledge. The students interested in computer fields have a plus point in studying ICSE schools since programming starts from STD 4. whereas CBSE students remain stuck in word office, excel, etc. which is of no use. The ICSE syllabus has more internal assessments and concepts that can be applied to practicals. The grading system for CBSE is alphabetical based. For ICSE, the marks are shown in numbers, which gives students a clear idea of how much they have scored. ICSE certified are recognized and followed across the globe, especially by foreign schools and universities compared to CBSE certificates. website-: rajvedanta.org

The CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) and the ICSE have a differentsyllabus, education pattern, exams and other aspects.ii. While talking about the syllabus, the CBSE has a more scientific approach. The wholesyllabus is divided into several units. In each unit, is also specified the number of periodsthat are needed for completion. The syllabus also includes the amount of marks in eachunit. The ICSE does not have such a scientific approach.iii. The ICSE syllabus is considered to be more elaborate and heavy as compared to theCBSE. While the ICSE has two papers on English, the CBSE has only one paper.iv. Another difference seen is that Environmental Education is compulsory with ICSE. On thecontrary, it is not so with the CBSE.v. In terms of the exam pattern, the entrance examinations follow the CBSE. So thestudents of ICSE curriculum have to put an extra mile when taking competitive exams.vi. The CBSE Board allows regular students and private students to take the exams. On theother hand, ICSE will not allow students who have not been studying in ICSE affiliatedschools to take exams6Beginner's Guide to ICSE Educationvii. Different boards differ in the way they test students; SSC exams are content based, theCBSE exams are application based, and the ICSE exams are knowledge, understanding,application and skill-set based.viii. CBSE students also seem to have an edge over other students when it comes to takingthe UPSC administrative service examinations, such as the IAS and the IPS. However,when it comes to taking up entrance exams outside of India, for example SAT andTOEFL, teachers seem to recommend the ICSE syllabus over CBSE. In the ICSEsyllabus, there's a clear emphasis on English and its literature.ix. Most CBSE students say that they find it harder to switch to ICSE at higher levels,whereas ICSE students are able make the shift easily
