CBSE decided to change the exam pattern for the class 10th and 12th boards this year, and the students have been in a state of panic and confusion. There is a significant amount of syllabus to cover, yet not enough clarity about how to go with it. Hence, in this article, we will be covering the syllabus of social science and its chapter-wise weightage for the upcoming term 2 board examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

There have been no announcements regarding adding chapters in CBSE class 10<\/a> social science, so the students can relax if it is a concern. However, there are only a specific number of chapters that the students would be assessed upon. It is strongly advised that for term 2, students stick to the syllabus strictly and keep the weightage and essential topics in mind while preparing for the examinations.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBSE Class 10 Social Science Exam Pattern<\/h2>\n

The CBSE Class 10 exam pattern<\/a> has changed entirely. For social science, there would be 13 questions in the paper, divided into five different sections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to term 1, the term 2 paper would also be 40 marks. However, term two is a personal paper – and hence, the time limit for this exam would be 2 hours in total. All questions would be compulsory, and the students would be provided with internal choices within specific questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a tabular representation of the exam pattern:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

CBSE Class 10 Social Science Syllabus For Term 2 Exam<\/h2>\n

Since Social Science comprises four subjects – History, Political Science, Economics, and Geography – keeping track of the syllabus for every unit is a challenging task. With the introduction of the concept of term 1 and term 2 examinations, the total syllabus of social science has been divided too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It means that students only have to study a specific number of chapters of the year’s second term of board examinations. Here is the list of social science syllabi, categorized based on the chapters.<\/span><\/p>\n
