SSC vs CBSE vs ICSE : Which is the best?


Hi all !! this is suven jagtiani writing this blog.  I am a sincere student studying in 9th grade. I am in a school which follows the the SSC board. Sometimes My cousins and friends  pull my legs telling me that how can I learn from a board like SSC because they followed the syllabus of CBSE and ICSE[which they considered to be much better and difficult than SSC]. This made me feel that is the SSC board really so bad? 


So after 9 years studying in SSC, I thought of writing this blog to explain you about the differences in the so called "INDIAN BOARDS".




CBSE [Central board of secondary education]
IS THIS BOARD PRESCRIBED BY OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY GOOD?

CBSE board is very popular for it's NCERT books and every expert would tell you that all competitive entrance exams are based on CBSE, but let's see the real truth:

PROS
  1. The syllabus and books of CBSE board is very well designed.
  2. Science and Maths are well explained in NCERT books.
  3. The board is very consistent and has the same syllabus across the whole country.
CONS:

  1. The student does not learn the language of the region in which he/she lives.
  2. The syllabus does not focus much on English.
  3. The questions aren't creative and practical.



ICSE [Indian Certificate For Secondary Education]

The ICSE board is only popular in some metropolitian cities of India. Many people say that this board makes your child more independent as well as studious. So let's see the real truth:

PROS
  1. The child becomes very fluent in English as ICSE board focuses a lot on English and other languages.
  2. The certificate of  ICSE  board is recoginized all around the world.
  3. Students interested in lines like management or humanities would find the syllabus better compared to others.
CONS:
  1. The syllabus of this board is too extensive. This often leads to children becoming bored of the subject as well as stressed out.
  2. The questions are not well designed or creative.


SSC [ Secondary School certificate] - for Maharashtra State

The SSC board is criticized by every person you meet in the educational line.So let's know the truth:

PROS:
  1. This board is well designed for average and weak students.
  2. The SSC teaches the local language.
  3. The board does not create any pressure or stress on student.
CONS:
  1. The syllabus is not creatively designed.
  2. The quality and content of books is not up to the mark{I could have used  harsher words for the books}
  3. The board does not go deep in the subjects.





CONCLUSION :
So now it is the result time where we would know which is the best board. [I am sure you would be shocked by the answer]
According to me , no Indian board is the best.

The quality of teachers in India is falling day by day. No matter which board you take,you would not have good teachers[I am not insulting teachers!!] Teachers of coaching classes are even more worse. 
 I would like to say that even the board in which a student is studying is also not important [WHY?]

THE ANSWER IS THAT WHICHEVER  BOARD YOU STUDY IN, THE ONUS IS ON YOU TO MAKE A BRIGHT FUTURE .
If a student feels that the syllabus of the board in which he is teaching is low in difficulty then he can learn more difficult concepts of possibly other boards from the net or videos available on youtube [there are some very good e-learning websites too!!]
So kick the syllabus and switch on your brain's curiosity to learn more.

And I got this change in me when I started studying from a very well known e-learning app named Byju's.[I am sure you would have heard of this app] Even you must try it!!.
