What is Syllabus?

CBSE Syllabus is the list of topics and subtopics to be covered in the course of study during an academic year. CBSE syllabus includes the summary and gist of content to be gone through during the teaching and learning process in a particular grade or class. 

CBSE Reduced Syllabus for Classes 9-12

CBSE issues syllabus booklets for classes 9, 10, 11 and 12. This curriculum is revised every year. This year too, CBSE has made some big changes in the syllabus.

Annual Exams

The biggest change this year is that CBSE will conduct only annual exams now. It means now students will undergo only one annual exam at the end of the session. However, periodic tests and class tests will continue. But we know that the weightage for these tests is only 10%. 

Reduced Syllabus

The syllabus is reduced in all the subjects. In some cases, it is unexpectedly reduced. For example, there were 16 chapters in class 12 Chemistry. CBSE has fully deleted 6 chapters. Now there are only 10 chapters left in the class 12 Chemistry syllabus. Same way in other subjects too, CBSE has reduced its syllabus. You can get the updated syllabus from the link provided below.

The CBSE's School Curriculum gets its lead from the National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005) and New Education Policy NEP 2020. The paramount guiding principles as proposed by NCF-2005 and NEP 2020 are

• connecting knowledge to life outside the school,
• ensuring that learning is shifts away from rote methods,
• enriching the curriculum to provide for the overall development of children rather than remain textbook centric,
• making examinations more flexible and integrated into classroom life and,
• nurturing an overriding identity informed by caring concerns within the democratic polity of the country.
