How to Use This Syllabus

01

Prioritise by marks

Use the unit-wise distribution above. Focus first on units with 20+ marks — they give the best return on study time.

02

Skip deleted topics

CBSE will not ask deleted topics in the board exam. Don't waste time on them — use that time for NCERT exercises instead.

03

Know the paper pattern

Section E (Case Study) has new-format questions many students ignore. Practise these separately — they're easy marks.
