ICSE Grading System 2024-25: The ICSE grading system for the 2024-25 academic year employs a nine-point scale for external examinations, with Grade 1 denoting 'Very Good' and Grades 8 and 9 indicating 'Fail'. For internal assessments, grades range from A to E, where A signifies 'Very Good' and E represents 'Fail'. To pass, students must achieve at least 33% in each subject.
Subjects are categorized into three groups: Group I (compulsory), Group II (choose any two), and Group III (choose any one). The marking scheme allocates 80% to external exams and 20% to internal assessments for Groups I and II, while Group III subjects are evenly split, with 50% for both external and internal evaluations.ICSE Class 10th Sample Paper 2025
