In response to the global shift towards competency-based education, the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) has launched an Item Bank of Competency-Focused Practice Questions for ICSE and ISC students. This initiative aims to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills through a diverse range of higher-order questions that align with real-world applications. Accompanied by cognitive learning domains and an answer key, these resources are designed to support teachers in developing customized assessments and guide students in evaluating their competencies, fostering personalized learning pathways in preparation for future examinations.
