What Your Board Results Don't Define
While your ISC scores are important for college admissions, they do not define your entire career or potential. Many successful careers are built on skills, practical experience, and continuous learning, not just exam performance. Furthermore, many universities now use a holistic approach for admissions, considering entrance exam scores, extracurricular activities, and interviews. Your board exam is a milestone, not the final destination, in your professional journey.
