CBSE Class 12 Maths Deleted Syllabus 2025-26: Check Chapter-Wise List of Deleted Topics

Nov 17, 2025, 18:05 IST

CBSE Class 12 Maths Deleted Syllabus 2025-26: The CBSE Class 12 Mathematics syllabus for 2025-26 is highly rationalized, retaining the significant content deletions from previous years. This includes the removal of specific sub-topics and exercises from Calculus (like Definite Integral as a Limit of a Sum) and Probability (like Binomial Distribution). The aim is to reduce academic load and emphasize core concepts for competitive exams. Students must carefully refer to the detailed list of deleted sections to focus preparation solely on the evaluative material.

CBSE Class 12 Maths Deleted Syllabus 2025-26:  The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has rationalized the syllabus for Class 12 Mathematics for the academic session 2025-26, continuing the effort to make the curriculum streamlined and student-friendly while aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP). This updated syllabus removes specific sub-topics, exercises, and detailed sections from the NCERT textbooks, particularly affecting major units like Calculus, Algebra, and Three-Dimensional Geometry.

This extensive rationalization, which maintains the approximate 30% content reduction implemented in previous years, ensures students focus intensely on core mathematical concepts, logical reasoning, and essential problem-solving skills crucial for higher studies and competitive exams.
