CBSE Syllabus 2026-27 & Deleted Topics: What to Study

The official CBSE syllabus for the 2026-27 session is published on cbseacademic.nic.in. For the 2026-27 session, the curriculum page is at cbseacademic.nic.in/curriculum_2027.html. Each PDF lists chapters, unit weightage, and any deleted topics for that year.

Deleted or reduced topics are noted within the official syllabus document itself. Do not rely on social-media lists — always download the PDF for your exact class and subject from the official source.

How to use the syllabus for board preparation

  1. Download the official syllabus PDF for your subject — Open cbseacademic.nic.in/curriculum_2027.html and download the PDF for your class and subject.
  2. Identify unit weightage — Each unit carries a defined mark weight. Plan revision time proportional to the marks each unit contributes.
  3. Note deleted or reduced chapters — Only chapters listed in the current year's syllabus PDF are examinable. Do not study chapters that have been removed for your session.
  4. Cross-check with the SQP — Compare the syllabus chapter list against the SQP for your subject to confirm which chapters appear in the actual exam pattern.

Deleted topics: go to the official source: Every year, lists of "deleted CBSE topics" circulate online — many are outdated or for the wrong session. The only reliable source is the official syllabus PDF from cbseacademic.nic.in for your exact class, subject, and session year.
