The Secondary School education of Indian children is accomplished by a student studying 10 Standards of School education, completing the Board examinations conducted at the end of it, which are basically in three streams for the Schools to choose, thereupon the students to follow, these streams being CBSE, which means Central Board of Secondary Education, ICSE, the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education and the State Board of the respective State in India, while 41 Boards of education are established in India, among which the State examination Boards in India play a vital role.

The State Examination Boards in India have been constituted in different periods in different States, however all of them having more or less similar pattern of syllabus, for instance the State Examination Board of present Tamilnadu, emerged in 1911 AD, while the State Board examinations started in Uttar Pradesh, in the year 1921AD with a proper Examination board formed for that purpose.

Some of the State Examination Boards provide scope for Private candidates to sit for Board Examinations, in different forms and conditions, for instance, one can sit for Matriculation Stream exams through Private Study in the 10th Standard level, whereas anyone can sit for 8th Standard examination through Private Study.
