On July 7, HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal announced a major CBSE syllabus reduction with 30% of the syllabus slashed for the year 2020-21 for classes 9 to 12 because of the reduction in classroom teaching time due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.
CBSE has rationalized the syllabus with the help of suggestions from NCERT and the same has been notified by a new CBSE notification as well.
The CBSE syllabus has been reduced but care has been taken so that the learning outcomes remain the same and the students do not miss out on learning core concepts in various subjects.
However, CBSE stated in its notification that though 30% of the syllabus has been cut from the new academic year, teachers should ensure that students understand these topics so that they can use the information in connection with other topics.
It further stated that the deleted portions of the CBSE syllabus will not be included in the internal assessments or the year-end board exams.
The CBSE syllabus was reduced slightly in April 2020 as well. But as the lockdown got extended and the Covid-19 pandemic became worse, a bigger CBSE syllabus reduction was finalized.
