CBSE (Indian Qualification) in UCAS Form?

This is the situation.

I am a IB student in my 2nd year now. I am applying through UCAS to universities but I have a problem entering my qualifications in the Education section.

Finding and entering my IB subjects wasn't a problem but I did my GCSE's through an Indian Education Board called Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). I am not able to find them in the huge list of education qualifications and to my knowledge they are one of the biggest boards in India.

If you're a CBSE student who is/who has applied through UCAS what did you list in the qualification box?

Hey,
Whilst I've not applied to Uni yet (hopefully next year), I can understand what you mean. I studied CBSE syllabus till 4th. However, look at the websites below:

Sorry I can't be much of a use, but that's as far as I know. You might need to contact the Universities you are applying to- and ask them for their take on the situation.

Hey I ended up filling it in as All India Senior Secondary School Examinations (AISSE).
I don't think UCAS had a specific slot for the CBSE 10th exams - quite weird actually. You need to go and manually add it yourself.

For entering CBSE Results in UCAS, Please note the below:

When adding the qualifications on the A to Z list select the letter 'O' and select 'Other International Non EU qualifications' and you can free type the information in.
