The Inter-State Board for Anglo-Indian Education came to a resolution that, it was necessary of setting up of an Indian Council to administer the - Syndicate's Examination in India held by The Cambridge University. This Indian Council was set-up on the grounds that a board was required to administer the examination's being conducted in India by the worldly-reputed University of Cambridge and to optimally tailor them according to the nation's need. The future education policies were prepared under the aegis of the Cambridge varsity. [3]

On a commendable note, the National Admissions and Accreditation agency in the United Kingdom - UCAS (Universities and College Admission Services) has recognized the ISC at par with the Higher School qualification of the Universities in Scotland (United Kingdom). [6] It marked the western-education inspired course quality being maintained by CISCE in their examinations, a sole-feat in Indian education boards.
Often, these exams (specially the ISC) is ranked if-not-higher-then-equal to the British GCSE examinations, especially observed when these students apply for Foreign universities in USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, Singapore etc. They don't seem to have any problems regarding comprehension, comparability and competitiveness of ISC scores. [7]
- Results declaration on the InterNet:

[8] Mostly, this perk is valid for other subjects too (acceptance varied univ to univ).
