The CBSE syllabus 2025-26 brings key changes to enhance learning and assessment. The syllabus has been reduced by 15%, with 40% weightage to internal assessments. Open-book exams will be introduced for select subjects, and digital assessments will streamline evaluations. The two-term exam structure will return from 2026, balancing academic pressure. Subject-specific updates focus on practical applications and competency-based learning. Students should refer to NCERT books and the official CBSE website for detailed guidelines. These changes aim to make learning more interactive, application-based, and future-ready.
