“The Board has decided to revise the syllabi for classes 9-12 for the academic session 2020-21. Considering the importance of achieving the level of learning, the syllabus has been rationalised to the extent possible by retaining the core concepts,” said a circular issued by CBSE director (academics), Joseph Emmanuel.
However, the board has made sure that the core concepts of all the subjects are intact even after the reduction in the CBSE syllabus 2021. This revised syllabus will help to reduce the course load for Classes 9 to 12 students for the upcoming exams.
