Science Stream Syllabus Reduction
CBSE has reduced the syllabus for Class 12 by approximately one-third, with specific topics and chapters removed from various subjects. Here is a detailed breakdown:
1. Mathematics
Several advanced topics and subtopics have been removed from the Mathematics syllabus. These deletions are designed to make the exam more manageable and focused on core concepts. While the exact details can vary each year, the primary goal is to reinforce fundamental knowledge.
2. Physics
In Physics, topics such as advanced mathematical physics and specialized experimentations have been removed. The aim is to ensure a deeper understanding of fundamental principles and their practical applications.
3. Chemistry
Chemistry’s syllabus has seen reductions in complex organic and inorganic reaction mechanisms. Instead, the focus is on the basics and essential concepts.
4. Biology
Biology has seen the removal of some advanced topics in genetics and biochemistry. The focus remains on understanding life processes and biological mechanisms at a core level.
5. English Core
Core English has seen the removal of certain literary and linguistic exercises. The focus has shifted to more practical applications of language, including comprehensions and writing skills.
6. Computer Science
In Computer Science, the syllabus has seen the removal of some advanced programming concepts and practical implementations relevant to specific industries. Instead, the focus is on foundational coding skills and problem-solving techniques.
Additional Resources and New Question Typology
In addition to the reduced syllabus, CBSE has introduced a new typology of questions and updated the paper pattern. This change aims to test students more comprehensively, evaluating their ability to apply knowledge in diverse contexts.
A key resource is the latest sample paper books, which are crucial for practice. Educart sample papers are particularly well-aligned with the updated pattern and include new question typologies. It is highly recommended that students refer to these resources to prepare effectively.
