SUPW and CISCE CAREER: What They Mean for Your ICSE Result
ICSE Class 10 students often have questions about SUPW and CAREER — two curriculum components that appear on the ICSE certificate but are not written board examination papers.
SUPW stands for Socially Useful Productive Work and Community Service. CAREER stands for Community Activities Related to Education Enrichment and Rehabilitation. Both are assessed by the school, not through a public examination. They are mandatory curriculum requirements for ICSE.
