The CBSE syllabus 2026-27 for Classes 9, 10, 11 and 12 is published subject-wise by the board, and this page is where you start if you are not sure which class page you need.
This hub does not contain the syllabus text itself — it routes you to the correct class page, where the course structure, unit-wise marks, and any topics dropped for the current session are listed. Every class page here is checked against the official CBSE academic portal, which is where the board itself releases the syllabus PDFs each year.
CBSE Syllabus 2026-27 by Class
Class 9 is the year before board exams start, so its syllabus sets the foundation for Class 10 — a student here needs to know what’s coming, not chase marks weightage yet, since Class 9 has no external board exam.
Class 10 is the first year where the syllabus decides your board exam score directly. Unit-wise marks, internal assessment splits, and any topic CBSE has removed for 2026-27 all matter here in a way they don’t for Class 9.
Class 11 is the stream-choice year. The syllabus expands sharply compared to Class 10, and a student moving into Science, Commerce or Humanities needs to see the full unit list before committing to a subject combination.
Class 12 is the final board year, so every revision CBSE makes to the syllabus gets checked closely — a missed deletion or an outdated marks split here has a direct effect on the board exam paper.

Don’t just open a subject page and start revising. Follow this order instead:
- Pick your class from the table above and open its syllabus page.
- Open the subject you need and read the unit list first, not the marks table.
- Check the “deleted or reduced topics” note on that page, if one is listed for 2026-27.
- Cross-check the unit-wise marks against the assessment plan your school has shared, since some schools weight internal assessment differently within CBSE’s allowed range.
What You’ll Find Inside Each Class’s Syllabus Page
Each class page under this hub is built the same way, so once you know what to look for on one, you know what to expect on all of them:
- Unit names with their weightage in marks, taken directly from the CBSE curriculum document.
- The NCERT textbook chapters mapped to each unit, so you know which book to open for which topic.
- Internal assessment, practical, or project marks, where the subject has them.
- A list of topics removed or changed for 2026-27 compared with the previous session, where CBSE has confirmed a change.
Common Mistakes Students Make With the CBSE Syllabus
Three mistakes come up again and again when students use the wrong or outdated syllabus reference:
- Studying from last year’s PDF. A syllabus saved from an earlier session may not list the current deletions. Always check the year printed on the document, not just the subject name.
- Ignoring the marks split. Spending equal time on a 4-mark unit and a 20-mark unit wastes revision time. Read the unit-wise weightage before you plan your schedule, not after.
- Mixing up Class 11 and Class 12 syllabi. A subject can carry the same name in both classes but cover different units — Physics in Class 11 is not a subset of Physics in Class 12. Confirm the class number on the page before you start.
One edge case worth knowing: Class 9 and Class 11 are not board exam years under CBSE, so their syllabi don’t carry the same weight as Class 10 and Class 12. A deletion in Class 9 affects only your school’s internal exam pattern, while a deletion in Class 10 or Class 12 affects the board paper itself.
Treat the two differently when you plan how much time a “deleted topic” note deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions on CBSE Syllabus 2026-27
Where can I download the official CBSE syllabus 2026-27 PDF for my class?
The board publishes it on the CBSE academic portal at cbseacademic.nic.in. From this hub, open your class page above, where the same content is organised subject by subject with unit weightage and NCERT mapping already worked out.
Has CBSE deleted or reduced any topics for the 2026-27 session?
It varies by subject and class. Check the “deleted or reduced topics” note on your specific class and subject page rather than assuming the previous year’s list still applies.
Is the CBSE syllabus 2026-27 the same as the 2026-27 syllabus?
Not necessarily. CBSE reviews and revises the syllabus most years, sometimes only in a few subjects. Always confirm the session year printed on the document you’re using before you start revision.
Do Class 9 and Class 11 follow a board exam syllabus under CBSE?
No. Class 9 and Class 11 exams are conducted by the school, not CBSE directly, so their syllabi guide internal assessment rather than a board paper. Class 10 and Class 12 are the board exam years.
Which class’s syllabus should I check first if I’m choosing a stream after Class 10?
Check the Class 11 syllabus for each subject you’re considering. It shows the full unit list for Science, Commerce and Humanities subjects before you commit to a combination.
