content load and providing opportunities
for experiential learning with creative

has undertaken the exercise to List of Rationalised Content in
Textbooks for Class XII
rationalise the textbooks across all
classes. Learning Outcomes already
developed by the NCERT across classes
have been taken into consideration in
this exercise.
Contents of the textbooks have been
rationalised in view of the following:
• Overlapping with similar content
included in other subject areas in the
same class
• Similar content included in the lower
or higher class in same subject
• Difficulty level
• Content, which is easily accessible to
students without much interventions
from teachers and can be learned
through children through self-
learning or peer-learning
• Content, which is irrelevant in the
present context
This booklet contains information
in tabular form about subject-wise
contents which have been dropped
and hence are not to be assessed.

is imperative to reduce content load on
students. The National Education Policy
2020, also emphasises reducing the
पुनर्संयोजित पाठ्य सामग्री की सचू ी
content load and providing opportunities
for experiential learning with creative
mindset. In this background, NCERT
has undertaken the exercise to List of Rationalised Content in
Textbooks for Class XII
rationalise the textbooks across all
classes. Learning Outcomes already
developed by the NCERT across classes
have been taken into consideration in
this exercise.
Contents of the textbooks have been
rationalised in view of the following:
• Overlapping with similar content
included in other subject areas in the
same class
• Similar content included in the lower
or higher class in same subject
• Content, which is easily accessible to
students without much interventions
from teachers and can be learned
through children through self-
learning or peer-learning
• Content, which is irrelevant in the
present context
This booklet contains information
in tabular form about subject-wise
contents which have been dropped
