AISSE

All India Secondary School Examination (also known as AISSE) is a centralised examination that students (belonging to CBSE-Affiliated schools) in India take up after class 10. The Central Board of Secondary Education conducts the AISSE during the period of March-April every year. The number of subjects, type of examination (theoritical, practical or both) and grading methods differ among boards and states. Generally students are tested on English, Languages (Native or Foreign), Mathematics, Sciences, Social Sciences (History, Civics, Geography and Disaster Management), Arts, Dances and other optional subjects.

Each subject is marked out of a total of 100 (including both Practical and Theoritical and assesment techniques such as Assignments, Classroom Projects and Presentations). Marks are accompanied by Grades. In India, schools and junior colleges often consider AISSE scores for admission to Higher Secondary disciplines (Humanities, Sciences, Commerce or Vocational Courses) in the absence of admission tests.

Some states in India (e.g. Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Goa, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal) conduct their own Secondary School Examination, in the pattern of the local state board, known as Secondary School Certificate or SSE.

CBSE and other central boards such as CISCE and NIOS have schools which follow their scheme of education all over the country.
