The ICSE Class 9 Science curriculum, prescribed by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), is a comprehensive foundation course covering Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Achieving a thorough understanding of this syllabus and its examination pattern is crucial, as Class 9 provides the necessary academic base for the rigorous Class 10 Board Examination.
Science is treated as a composite subject within Group II of the ICSE structure. The assessment follows a mandatory 80:20 ratio for each of the three branches.
The 80-mark theory paper for Physics, Chemistry, and Biology is divided into two mandatory sections, testing both fundamental knowledge and application skills.
The syllabus is structured to provide conceptual depth in each scientific discipline.
The 20 marks allocated for Internal Assessment (IA) in each Science branch are earned through practical and project work evaluated by the school teacher.
