Wtf is going on in the icse sub?? The mods were asked to add this post to the wiki, but then suddenly they removed the og comment asking them to do so? What is this oppression?

Sometimes rather than a bunch of people I would prefer just one person who would be supporting me through every adversity.

I was never the academic overachiever like many in this sub, so I am not writing about how to improve marks; honestly speaking there are numerous overqualified people for those advices.

This is to let you guys know, how probably that one support or cheer can also make you do something that you never expected🥹

Now the story begins-

She was my good friend, we met in fifth grade and I hated her at that point because she was always the academic overachiever of our school; now the point is that I was never the one...

Lets move ahead to ninth grade where she was again in our section, and then we both became really good friends, and from then I actually started to study. Then moving ahead to tenth grade, I was pretty under confident moving to this grade as the last one I scored good but it wasn't that satisfactory.

Now we were good friends, but as she was diligent and hardworking student she always used to be busy with her studies, and I was the more of non academic guy, always playing, out roaming and taking photographs.

Now she used to always scored some 90% ish marks in all of her school exams and I was the one who scored 60% and I remember the time just two weeks before boards, I scored 67% in preboards and I wasn't even ready with any subjects to be fair.

Whereas by then she was ready with almost everything to perfection, now as being really scared I genuinely didn't find a path or the route to continue the journey, nobody in my family was expecting me to score 90%+ and barely anyone expected 85%+...

Now when I told her, she genuinely was concerned about me, and out of nowhere she called me and made a time table for remaining two weeks, and atleast there being a fear factor, I listened to her carefully. And where every apparent "topper" of our school wouldn't even share their thoughts, she directly send me everything she used to get and everything.

Now before exams she used to call me and rather than doing her works, we used to call and if not possible then atleast she used to send vc's to explain the doubts I had, also she used to share all of her question papers. When I had no one to give me emotional support during inner turmoil or distress she was the first one to call me.

When I had doubts, whether I will score even 90% in boards she was the only one who kept faith in me. Even before exams she was the one who always gave me the last minute pep talks.

And I credit this marks to her more than to me or anyone else, and also she got some 97% too. I am genuinely happy for her and also like I have no words to express, how I am grateful will I be for her.

As you guys already know that protest were supposed to be held today at India Gate

There was a gathering of 60 people at India Gate today but , due to the area being a sensitive area and prior information to Delhi police . They were arrested see here in video and in this video. One more new video has been posted here on reddit this

They faced charges of

• public obstruction
• protest without permission

Good news is that these are very minor charges and so they will be left by the police soon

Tomorrow is a very good time for protesting as JEE and CUET students will be also free

As a 12thie I can't join my seniors protest but best of luck to them and people who can join , please help them . EXAMS DO DECIDE OUR FUTURE INDIRECTLY.

For further updates , check out their channel for live stream and discord for live updates

they are in my cbse subreddit post . All new updates will be there

for first hand accounts , I would be updating body for comments as there is no pin in reddit sadly (comment from my cbse subreddit post)

• First Police arrested peaceful protesters who were gathering there to protest against the CBSE so that the CBSE should change their rules and do the rechecking and revaluation for free and shut down this scamming OSM system. Now, the second thing is that the people gather there didn’t even started the protestant before even starting the protest, the police detained them and took them into the bus and now we have to unite them and protest at the Jantar Mantar because that is the official place for the protest. Which means the police cannot arrest us and there is a lot of huge media also which will cover the real issue so that the CBSE will at least take some action and second thing is that don’t forget to tweet on the Twitter because that is the only place where we can create a huge impact and make this thing trending among all the apps among all the teachers and everywhere let’s gather together and unite together and do not let the system take advantage of our money and spoil our future and please do not mind my English, thank you. 🙏

lowkey found myself building a study system because every “productivity app” out there either feels corporate as hell or just becomes another distraction 💀

so i made this thing called asna.

it’s basically a local studyOS that turns your entire prep into a control dashboard instead of a messy pile of tabs, PDFs, random timers and forgotten tasks.

it literally remaps itself depending on your curriculum + stream.
cbse, cuet, icse, isc etc.

you switch modes and the entire dashboard changes with:

• subjects
• chapter tracking
• mastery heatmaps
• focus sessions
• mock tracking
• NCERT reading
• revision workflow
• saved progress
• even chapter-wise prep mapping

and the cleanest part? everything stays local. no weird cloud syncing, no accounts, no “premium upgrade to continue studying” nonsense.

it kinda feels like if notion, a focus app, a revision tracker and a student dashboard had one actually useful child.

the chapter mastery system is probably my favorite part because you can literally SEE what’s weak, practiced or mastered instead of pretending you’re “done revising” 😭

also built in:

• focus timer
• distraction blocker
• curriculum remapping
• chapter recognition
• periodic table tools
• formula sections
• task queue
• exam countdowns
• progress analytics

genuinely made this because i was tired of studying feeling chaotic.

not really launching it publicly rn because i can't incur costs but anyone intereseted, can dm me for the copy of the app.

Hey everyone! I just finished ICSE Class 10 boards (2026 batch) and scored 96% in best of five

Subject-wise:
English1 – 96 English2 - 99
HCG1 – 99 HCG2 – 99
Maths – 91
Physics - 89 Chemistry - 98 Biology - 97
French – 80 (plz dont ask 🤣)
R&AI – 98

I made a lot of silly mistakes, missed a few scores I expected, and definitely learned a lot about prep, time management, mistakes, stress before exams, and balancing boards with entrance prep.

If anyone from junior classes has questions about ICSE prep, subject strategy, mistakes to avoid, resources (ive gotta dump them smwhere) , board exam pressure, or anything else — feel free to ask :)

AMA.

I have heard that for class 11th this year (2027) , we have to prepare both JAVA and PYTHON for our upcoming boards in 2028.

Is this news true or not?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Students I have something for you if have the percentage more than 90+ in any stream

Just connect to me

So in our school our parents have a separate 10th WhatsApp group and over there they were discussing ki the marks on the marksheet will be of the first 5 subjects and not best of 4 plus English … is this true??? If so then I’m k m s

How many have you applied for rechecking?

This is gonna be a long rant so buckle up. I live in Andhra Pradesh in a mid sized town which and studied in icse upto class 10 . My parents are dentists and my mom is from Bangalore so I am used to the Bangalore culture and thought after my 10th I'll go there but instead my parents kept me in tirupati hostel and I went there for a week and didn't like it all . I'm very grateful to have parents who understand and love me so I think I'm attached but the people I met in tirupati don't match with me at all .they are like the same people I met in my town but this college is supposedly very good and has gotten good ranks (on par with narayana/sri Chaitanya) but I don't think I can adjust there at all . I went for a week and now every night I'm getting dreams(nightmares) that I'm stuck there like in jail and can't get out. I think it's better if I study in Bangalore or in my hometown but I'm not sure what to do I'm scared shitless . I have good speaking skills well educated got 85% in icse (ik it's not topper level) and I belive i have good potential but I don't wanna fuck up my life because every time I hear that doing engineering is shit and you're probably not gonna get any jobs (im thinking to do mba too but idk) and now I have time untill June 2 to go back and once I go back i can't get out . No phone,no going out nothing can only talk to parents for 12 minutes twice a week I don't think I can fit in there the food and facilities are good but the people I don't like at all . I'm at my breaking point so I hope you strangers can give me some advice 👍🏻
