What is the Cambridge
IGCSE & AICE Diploma?

The Cambridge IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) is the world's most widely taken international qualification for students aged 14–16. The Cambridge AICE Diploma builds on IGCSE at AS & A Level, rewarding students who demonstrate breadth and depth across multiple subject groups.

At 10X Mysuru, the Cambridge pathway is taught through an inquiry-based, concept-driven approach — integrated with the IGCSE+ enrichment that prepares students for JEE, NEET, and global university admissions.

The Cambridge framework places the learner at its centre — developing critical thinking, subject mastery, and independent inquiry across a broad and balanced curriculum of subject groups.

At 10X, each subject group is taught by Cambridge-trained specialists, ensuring academic rigour without losing curiosity — and with the 10X+ edge of STEAM-H integration and acclaimed exam mentors.
