Twins in CBSE here, class 7. One rushes, one doesn't. What helped the rusher was a rule that the last five minutes are only for checking, no writing. Took a whole term to stick. Nothing to do with the board.

I can't speak to ISC rules, my boys are only in class 7. But I'm an anaesthetist, and the question I'd ask him is whether he has ever spent a day around a hospital.

I have twin boys who went through exactly this, in opposite directions. One writes to the template and got full marks all through primary. The other wrote whatever he liked and kept losing marks for 'not covering the points'. In class 5 his teacher gave him the list of points and told him he could be as creative as he liked inside them. That fixed it without killing the stories.
