Ask a counsellor
Which board is better, CBSE or ICSE?
Both are fine for every major entrance exam. CBSE aligns closely with NCERT, which JEE and NEET follow; ICSE goes deeper in English and practicals.
Do board marks matter for JEE?
For NITs, IIITs and CFTIs you need 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC/ST) or a top-20 percentile in your board.
How should I plan boards with entrance prep?
Overlap the syllabus: study NCERT thoroughly first, then layer entrance-level practice from Class 11.
