School Education in India is structured into stages that typically include Primary (Classes 1–5), Upper Primary/Middle (Classes 6–8), Secondary (Classes 9–10), and Senior Secondary (Classes 11–12). It is offered through national boards like CBSE, CISCE (ICSE/ISC), and various State Boards, with curricula that include languages, mathematics, science, social science, and co-curricular learning at earlier stages. At the Senior Secondary level, students generally select a stream such as Science, Commerce, Humanities/Arts, or Vocational subjects, which influences eligibility for undergraduate courses. Assessment patterns include internal assessments, periodic tests, practicals (where applicable), and board examinations at Class 10 and Class 12 in many systems. Schools may follow additional frameworks such as skill education, physical education, art education, and value-based learning. Successful completion of Class 10 awards a Secondary School certificate, while completion of Class 12 awards a Senior Secondary/Intermediate certificate, which is the standard entry qualification for most Indian bachelor’s degree programmes.
