ISC syllabus tweak for entrance exams
The ICSE council has revised the syllabus of some of the subjects in Classes XI and XII, including the sciences.
The council said the syllabus had been "reviewed and revised" to help students appearing for engineering and medical entrance exams.
"The syllabus has been revised according to the requirements of the National Testing Agency (for engineering and medical entrance exams). The syllabus has been reviewed and revised so children do not lose out," said Sangeeta Bhatia, deputy secretary of the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE).
The National Testing Agency conducts the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main and the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) to screen students for admission to the undergraduate engineering and medical courses, respectively.

A police team was sent to the area and the alleged caller was brought in for questioning. The officers realised during questioning that the man was speaking incoherently, said an officer. He was being questioned till late on Wednesday.
