The ICSE Social Science syllabus 2026 is divided into three major components: History, Civics, and Geography.
Internal Assessment (20 Marks):
Revise map marking, Indian Constitution, and the Gandhian Era multiple times before the exam.
1. Make a Realistic Study Timetable
Give geography, civics, and history equal time. Invest more time in practicing maps and historical timelines.
2. Use Mind Maps for History
Create flowcharts for the World Wars and the Freedom Movement. This facilitates rapid event revision.
3. Revise Constitutions and Articles
Frequently, civics questions are taken straight from the textbook. Learn the main articles and the functions of the judiciary, president, and prime minister by heart.
4. Practice Map Work Daily
Locate cities, rivers, industries, and other physical features using blank maps. This guarantees perfect grades in geography.
