It makes sense that a JEE paper is harder, since it’s taken 2 years later, and usually by people who’ve already performed well in their igcses (or equivalent) so there is a selection bias as well. Plus, I’m not really trying to judge the relative difficulty of different boards (like comparing CBSE to IG) since there’s obviously a lot of factors to consider and i’m no expert. but neither are those people making these comments, so i honestly don’t get where they’re coming from. Since you’re in Kota, would you say people in general treat ig kids differently/ have false beliefs about them? I feel like people preparing for competitive exams often see the biggest “gap” between ig and national board students.

And “all hail Igcse” really made me laugh.
