Revised Academic Curriculum for the session 2020-21
The prevailing health emergency in the country and at different parts of the world as
well as the efforts to contain the spread of Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in loss of
class room teaching due to closure of schools. Therefore the Board has decided to
revise the syllabi for classes IX-XII for the academic session 2020-21. The changes
made in the syllabi have been finalised by the respective Course Committees with the
approval of the Curriculum Committee and Governing Body of the Board.
The revision of syllabi is a measure taken due to the extraordinary situation prevailing in
the country and at different parts of the world. Considering the importance of achieving
the level of learning, the syllabus has been rationalised to the extent possible by
retaining the core concepts.
The Heads of Schools and Teachers may ensure that the topics that have been
reduced are also explained to the students to the extent required to connect different
topics. However the reduced syllabus will not be part of the topics for Internal
Assessment and year-end Board Examination. Alternative Academic Calendar and
inputs from the NCERT on transacting the curriculum using different strategies may also
be part of the teaching pedagogy.
For Elementary Classes (I-VIII) schools may follow the Alternative Academic Calendar
and Learning Outcomes specified by NCERT.
