The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) governs academic standards for Class 11 students. It conducts annual examinations across India.
The syllabus outlines topics students must study for various subjects. Understanding the deleted syllabus of Class 11 CBSE 2025-26 is important for effective exam preparation. This ensures students focus on relevant content and avoid studying outdated material.
CBSE regularly updates its curriculum. For the academic year 2025-26, specific topics and entire chapters have been removed from the CBSE Class 11 syllabus. This rationalization aims to reduce student workload and enhance practical learning. The following sections detail these exclusions.
This section provides detailed information on the deleted topics for each core subject. Students should go through the list of deleted topics in order to exclude them while preparing for the academic exams:
The Physics Deleted Syllabus Class 11 CBSE 2025-26 includes several modifications. Some chapters are completely removed, while others have specific topic deletions.
