SYLLABUS FOR CLASS 10TH NCERT
NCERT Class 10 syllabus is designed in a way that it gives a well-planned and well-organized study experience. It gives a smooth flow of thoughts among different subjects, giving solid foundation to studies at the senior level and competitive exams. The syllabus focuses more on conceptualizing things rather than memorizing, placing students in a good position to meet studies.
Most students have the wrong belief that NCERT books are not enough for boards. But NCERT content is the basis of board exam questions. Completing NCERT textbooks thoroughly and solving them will enable students to answer last year's papers confidently and score high marks.
For excellence, students must do on a regular basis the exercises given at the end of every NCERT chapter. Ref books are beneficial, but not too many, because that will create confusion. Concentrated study with NCERT textbooks results in efficient and focused learning, so are the most useful for board exam preparation.
