Which board was your school affiliated to, if you don't mind me asking? I went through my schooling in India too, and I had quite the opposite experience: concepts being taught with the only focus being on beating exams, rote learning prioritized instead of logical applications (in case of science), etc.

ICSE for 10th and ISC for 12th grades.

Figures. CBSE and State boards give the opposite experience, I'm sure you have heard the horror stories from your friends as well.

CBSE followed similar methodology as described and was good too. But only select central schools were good at teaching it - the teachers there were well qualified, and some of them are a real gem too at teaching.

I have, yes. I also noticed ISC schools weren’t focused on preparation for competitive exams whereas CBSE schools were. Of course, this is anecdotal.
