Best Shikho Alternative for IGCSE and IB Students in Bangladesh 2026
Shikho is a fast-growing Bangladeshi ed-tech app with animated video lessons for SSC, HSC and university admission exam preparation, used by students across 64 districts of Bangladesh.
For students at international schools in Bangladesh — running Cambridge IGCSE or IB programmes — Shikho’s curriculum alignment is typically a significant mismatch:
Why Shikho doesn’t work for Cambridge IGCSE or IB
- Content is built for Bangladesh’s SSC/HSC national curriculum and admission tests, not Cambridge or IB syllabi
- No Cambridge IGCSE (0610, 0620, 0625, 0580, 0455) syllabus coverage
- No IB Diploma Programme content
- No IB MYP resources
- No Edexcel International IGCSE
- No Cambridge International A Level
- Questions and marking conventions differ fundamentally from Cambridge and IB exam formats
Students sitting Cambridge IGCSE Biology (0610) or IB DP Chemistry need resources mapped to their actual exam specifications — not to Bangladesh’s national curriculum, which follows entirely different topic structures, terminology and question styles.
