The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is soon going to conduct the second phase of the CBSE Board Exam 2021-22. The Term 2 Exams for Classes 10th and 12th are going to start on 26th April. The pattern of the exam is now clear as the board has stated that the papers will be subjective in the Term 2 Exam. The format of the papers will be similar to the sample papers released in the earlier months. The exam will be conducted in offline mode following all Covid-19 protocols. Therefore, students should now start making preparations for their subjective-type exam without getting worried.
The most important thing to consider while preparing for the CBSE Term 2 Exam is getting familiar with the revised syllabus. This would ensure that you are preparing the right concepts for the exam and do not miss out on any important topics. At the same time, students also need to be aware of the sections that have been deleted. There are some chapters that were neither included in the Term 1 Syllabus nor are a part of the Term 2 Syllabus. Besides these chapters, there are some topics from the chapters mentioned in the Term 2 syllabus that will not be evaluated in the CBSE Term 2 Board Exam. So, to help out students, we have mentioned below the subject-wise deleted syllabus of CBSE Class 10.
