BIG NEWS for students and teachers! NCERT has uploaded a PDF resource with rationalised topics and subtopics for all classes and chapters as per the latest syllabus, which was reduced in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As stated by NCERT, the National Education Policy 2020 was released to take off some load of content from students so they can focus on competency-based, experiential learning and improve their 21st-century skills. This is why the syllabus has been reduced multiple times in the past couple of years.

S. No. Table of Content
1 NCERT Class 9 Rationalised Syllabus
2 NCERT Class 10 Rationalised Syllabus
3 NCERT Class 11 Rationalised Syllabus
4 NCERT Class 12 Rationalised Syllabus

Now, NCERT has uploaded PDFs to download for all subjects with their reduced chapters, topics, and subtopics. These topics are said to be deleted with Learning Outcomes in consideration.

All these topics are now permanently deleted from the NCERT books and CBSE syllabus and students will not have to study them again. There is also a possibility that this reduced syllabus will be followed in competitive exams like NEET and CUET next year.

The textbook contents have been rationalised to avoid overlapping with identical content included in other subject areas in the same class and similar content included in the lower or higher class in the same subject. Another element considered was the content's level of complexity. As a result, several of the most important chapters and topics have been removed from the NCERT books.
