International General Certificate of Secondary education

IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) offers students an English language curriculum to prepare them for the International Baccalaureate, BTEC Level 3, and A-Level curricula. It is based on the GCE O-Level. It is also recognised and regarded as equivalent to the GCSE and other international curricula. It was developed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations. For the students in the curriculum, the ages are from year 10, which is Grade 9, and the test is taken at the end of year 11, or Grade 10. The IGCSE is regarded as an international alternative to many national curricula. Its qualifications are usually based on the individual subjects of study, which means that a student receives IGCSE qualifications for each subject that they take.

IGCSE Syllabus :

IGCSE is more practical and application-based. It provides students with an opportunity to select courses according to their interest in the subjects of science, humanities, languages and mathematics. The courses also provide them with an opportunity to mix these subjects with components of fine arts, visual arts, theatre, technical drawing, music, film-making, community service, etc. The syllabus puts emphasis on developing critical thinking, analytical skills, communication skills, investigative abilities, problem-solving techniques, teamwork, independent research and other qualities valued by all international universities. They have a broader spectrum of subjects that lead to all-round development and are more challenging than Indian educational boards and test student knowledge, not their memory and speed.
