Senior Secondary stage of school education is a stage of transition from general education to discipline-based focus on curriculum. The present updated syllabus keeps in view the rigour and depth of disciplinary approach as well as the comprehension level of learners.
PRACTICALS
The record, to be submitted by the students, at the time of their annual examination, has to include:
• Record of at least 12 Experiments [with 6 from each section], to be performed by the students.
• Record of at least 6 Activities [with 3 each from section A and section B], to be performed by the students.
• Report of the project to be carried out by the students.
