New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reduced the syllabus of Class IX by 30 per cent to compensate for the loss of studies due to COVID-19. The revised syllabus for all subjects of CBSE Class IX has been released on the official websites- cbse.nic.in and cbseacademic.nic.in. The syllabus has been reduced for the students of Class X and XI as well.
“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.
The deleted portion of the syllabus is applicable only for the current academic session.
