CBSE Class 9 syllabus released – All you need to know: The Central Board of Secondary Education has officially released the syllabus for class 9th. While the board has returned to its original pattern of annual board examinations, it has also decided to reduce the syllabus, similar to the previous year. Thus, the CBSE has slashed off the practice of two-term examinations but with a reduced syllabus.
In this article, we will provide you not only with the syllabus but also how just its awareness can help you score great marks.
Why is it important to know the syllabus?
The syllabus contains not only the chapters that you have to cover but also each topic that the student must cover. The Central Board of Secondary Education revises the syllabus each year, especially after the pandemic. It slashes or adds the topics and subtopics and quite seldom even chapters for the ease and benefit of the students.
Hence, the students must familiarize themselves with what they have to study first. This will help the students save time and study efficiently as well. Since the students will allot the time only to the required chapters, they would be able to complete the syllabus in time and increase their productivity.
The syllabus gives you perfect knowledge about the weightage of each chapter and its topics. Thus, the students can know which topic is more important and which concept clarity can fetch them more marks.
It eventually helps the students prepare an effective timetable and plan and organize their studies, to complete them on time
How many subjects do you have?
As per the latest guidelines by the CBSE, the students have to study main subjects:
English, Hindi, Maths, Science, and Social Science. Students are also offered Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence by their schools as well.
