This compares elite Indian schools to International schools
At the 8th grade level, Indian top-private schools match International schools
This test is PISA type, which teaches Math comprehension and Language Comprehension
The curriculum that these top private schools deeply affect their pisa performance
Rote learning curriculum like the State boards perform poorly in PISA, while CBSE performs very well
In TN, for example the entire curriculum is rote, the reason is that this makes it easier for low IQ groups to pass and
even score high
Almost none of the TN-OBC groups could get into IIM, which had an entrance test similar to GRE and required thinking and IQ and not
rote memorization

Significant differences in schools affiliated to different boards and in different cities: The findings from
board-wise comparison reveals that schools from Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations
(CISCE) and Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) performed among the top 2 and the differences
with other boards were statistically significant. CISCE also performed significantly better than CBSE. The
comparison of scores reveals that students from Kolkata and Delhi performed signicantly better than Mumbai,
Chennai and Bangalore. Mumbai performed at par with overall average of these 5 metros. Bangalore
performed significantly lower than other metro cities. Kolkata had a large number of ICSE schools whil Delhi
had mostly CBSE schools which could be the reason for their higher performance.

The curriculum ranking with COMPOSITE PERFORMANCE INDEX
1. Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)= 14
2. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) = 9.5
3. West Bengal Board = 5
4. Karnataka Board = 5
5. Maharashtra Board = 1.5
6. TN board = 1.0

As you notice TN has the dumbest curriculum score and has the least amount of independent thinking, which is needed to score in PISA
