Class 10 Syllabus 2026-27 – CBSE Subject-Wise List

This page is your entry point to the class 10 syllabus 2026-27 for every CBSE subject. It is not the syllabus itself — it is a directory that sends you to the correct subject page the moment that page is confirmed, so you always study from the current unit list, marks weightage, and deleted-topics note rather than an old copy.

Only the Class 10 Science syllabus page is live at the moment. The rest of this hub is being built out subject by subject, and the table below tells you exactly what is ready today.

What This Class 10 Syllabus 2026-27 Hub Covers

CBSE publishes a fresh curriculum circular every academic year on cbseacademic.nic.in. That circular lists the units for each subject, the marks attached to every unit, and the topics that have been removed since the previous session.

Instead of asking you to search through one long PDF for your subject, this hub tracks the 2026-27 version of the Class 10 syllabus subject by subject. Each subject gets its own page with the unit list, the marks table, and the deletions called out clearly.

At the time of writing, that build-out is in progress. Treat this page as the map — check it before you open any subject’s syllabus so you know whether the page is ready, still being written, or not started yet.

Class 10 Subjects Directory for 2026-27

The table below covers every CBSE Class 10 subject. Where a subject’s syllabus page is published, you can open it directly for the unit-wise marks and deletions; where it is not yet published, the table says so instead of pointing you to a page that does not exist.

Bookmark this page and come back to it as more subjects go live — you will not need to search for the syllabus separately each time.

How to Use the Class 10 Syllabus 2026-27 Directory

A syllabus page is only useful if you turn it into a revision plan. Follow this order once your subject’s page is available:

1. Open your subject’s row in the directory above and go to its syllabus page.
2. Read the unit-wise marks weightage table first — before you look at topic names.
3. Check the deleted-topics list against whatever syllabus copy you were using earlier, and drop those topics from your revision.
4. Split your remaining study time in proportion to the marks each unit carries — a 20-mark unit needs roughly twice the time of a 10-mark unit, not the same time as every other unit.

This turns a static marks table into an actual time plan, which is the whole point of checking the weightage before you start revising.

What Each Subject’s Syllabus Page Includes

Once a subject’s page is published from this hub, it follows the same structure CBSE uses in its own curriculum circulars. You can expect to find:

• The full unit-wise topic list for the subject, matching the CBSE academic session.
• A marks distribution table showing how many marks each unit carries in the final exam.
• Internal assessment or practical marks, listed separately where the subject has them.
• The prescribed NCERT textbook name and any additional reference texts CBSE names.
• A clear note on topics removed from the previous year’s syllabus, so you are not revising anything that will not be tested.

Common Mistakes Students Make With the Class 10 Syllabus

These three errors show up every year, and all three are avoidable:

• Revising from an old syllabus PDF. A copy from an earlier session may still contain topics CBSE has since deleted. Always match the year code — 2026-27 — before you start revising from any document.
• Ignoring the Mathematics Standard vs Basic split. Both levels share the same syllabus content, but they are assessed through different question papers. Confirm which level you are registered for before assuming the syllabus itself differs — it usually does not, the exam does.
• Treating internal assessment or practical marks as optional. These marks are added to your final score and are separate from any topic deletions in the theory syllabus. Skipping them affects your total even if you know every theory topic.

Class 10 Syllabus 2026-27 FAQs

Has CBSE reduced or changed the Class 10 syllabus for 2026-27?

CBSE reviews and revises the syllabus, including unit-wise marks and topic deletions, at the start of every academic session. The exact changes for 2026-27 are confirmed in CBSE’s official circular on cbseacademic.nic.in, so check the subject’s syllabus page here once it is published rather than assuming last year’s version still applies.

Where can I download the official CBSE Class 10 syllabus PDF for 2026-27?

The official document is issued by CBSE on cbseacademic.nic.in. Each subject page on this hub summarises that circular in unit-wise form once it is published.

What is the difference between Mathematics Standard and Basic syllabus in Class 10?

The topic content is the same for both levels. The difference is in the question paper — Basic is generally set at an easier difficulty than Standard — so check your registration before assuming the units themselves change.

How many subjects are compulsory for CBSE Class 10 students in 2026-27?

CBSE Class 10 students typically take five main subjects plus at least one additional/skill subject, but the exact combination depends on your school’s offerings. Confirm your subject list with your school and cross-check it against the directory above.

Do internal assessment or practical marks count separately from the syllabus deletions?

Yes. Internal assessment and practical marks are added to your theory score and are not affected by which topics were deleted from the theory syllabus. Both are listed separately on each subject’s syllabus page once published.
