The Council for the Indian School Certificate examinations has a few affiliated schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - Dubai and Sharjah. In 2012, the Class 12 ISC Topper was from Dubai Modern Academy (GEMS) after which he headed to Stanford. Both the CBSE and the ISC are well respected systems, though if you're in a transferable job, the sheer scale of the CBSE system and their large network of schools, makes it easier to find a school in another country, or on your return back to India. The CISCE has just a few schools outside the country and a much smaller number of schools than CBSE, within India itself. However, in most large cities, other than Delhi, the CISCE schools typically dominate the lists of best or preferred schools. This holds true in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Kolkata and even to some extent, Hyderabad and Chennai. Same for Lucknow and Dehradun. At the grade 11-12 level, the syllabus of both boards is well aligned with that of competitive examinations in India. However, till Class 10, the ICSE system is considered more rigorous, has significantly more focus on practical and project work, and the English curriculum is far better than that of the CBSE. The ICSE system is often a good mid-point between the usual Indian system (CBSE) and the hands-on foreign systems (IGCSE, A-levels) but it also has a fair bit of work load in middle school.

Taking the SAT and TOEFL is generally required for entering undergrad programs in the United States. Often, applications do get a significant boost, if candidates take the AP examinations or Subject SAT tests. Medals won in International Olympiads significantly boost us chances, but naturally, this is a rare achievement. There are some gaps but the Indian syllabus typically does cover most of what is present in the American Common Core These are the names and addresses of some CBSE schools in Kuwait. However, academic performance data is not available for them.
