In any atom, there are K, L, M, N shells. Within each shell thre are subshells in the form of s, p, d, f subshells. For example, K shell has s subshell which can maximally have 2 electrons. L shell has s and p subshells, where s subshell can hold 2 electrons and p subshell can hold 6 electrons maximally. It goes on like this.
There is no difference between ICSE and CBSE prescribed syllabi for any of the fundamental theories in any subject.
