FOREWORD

This document of the Analysis of Pupil Performance at the ICSE (Class-10) Examination is a
unique tool for retrospection for both, teachers and students. It has grown and evolved over
the years to provide feedback to all concerned in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of the
candidates in handling the ICSE examinations.

We commend the work of Mrs. Shilpi Gupta and the team at the RDCD who have
painstakingly prepared this analysis. We are grateful to the examiners who have contributed
through their comments on the performance of the candidates under examination as well as
for their suggestions to teachers and students for the effective transaction of the syllabus.

We hope the schools will find this document useful in more ways than one. We invite
comments from schools on further improving its utility and quality.

 The Council has been involved in the preparation of the ICSE and ISC Analysis of Pupil
Performance documents since the year 1994. Over these years, these documents have
facilitated the teaching-learning process by providing subject/ paper wise feedback to
teachers regarding performance of students at the ICSE and ISC examinations. With the aim
of ensuring wider accessibility to all stakeholders, from the year 2014, the ICSE and the ISC
documents have also been made available on the Council’s website.
The documents which comprise of one Volume for ICSE and three Volumes for
ISC (Languages, Commerce and Humanities) aim to provide a detailed quantitative and
qualitative analysis of the performance of candidates for various subjects, including the
overall performance of the candidates, examiners’ comments on common errors made by
candidates, topics found difficult or confusing, marking scheme for each question and
suggestions for teachers/ candidates.
It is hoped that while on one hand, feedback provided in this document will enable teachers
to understand the assessment/ evaluation process better and help them in guiding their
students more effectively and comprehensively, it will also help students in preparing for the
ICSE/ ISC Examinations, with a better understanding of what is required from them in the
examination.
The Analysis of Pupil Performance document for ICSE for the Examination Year 2016 covers
14 subjects/papers. The ISC Analysis of Pupil Performance document for the year 2016 covers
21 subjects/papers. On popular demand, the subject Business Studies has been added to the
list of subjects for which the analysis is done at the ISC level.
The RDCD team of Mr. Richard Ellis, Dr Manika Sharma and Ms. Mansi Guleria have done a
commendable job in preparing this document. I would also like to thank Mr. M R Felix of the
IT department for providing the statistical data.
