What is the difference between IB and CBSE board?
The International Baccalaureate and CBSE are a whole lot different.
1. In CBSE you are asked to choose a stream. You can take either Science, Commerce or Humanities. In the IB in order to be awarded the diploma,you have to choose six subjects and it is mandatory to take mathematics(There are three levels, in order of difficulty these are : studies, standard and higher), English, a humanities subject, a science, a foreign language along with another subject of your choice.
2. In subjects like Mathematics and Physics, testing is mostly application based. Like in the case of CBSE where students are required to know the formulas and values for constants by heart, in the IB this is definitely not the case. Students are provided with a data booklet with all the formulas and values required which they may use during the exam.
3. In order to receive the diploma, students must complete CAS(Creativity, Action and Service) hours, an extended essay in a subject and topic of your choice which must be 4000 words in length along with an internal assessment in each of the student's subjects and a Theory Of Knowledge presentation and essay. All this makes the IB syllabus much harder than CBSE(Atleast in my opinion)
4. The course material required by the IB tend to be much more expensive compared to those required for CBSE. Although, the books used for the IB are written by some of the best scholars in the particular field and are of high quality.
