Class 12 board exams are pivotal for students as they mark the final step in school education. With the right strategy and preparation, students can score well in their exams. On this page, we have compiled the complete syllabus and marking scheme for the key subjects of Science, Commerce, and Arts streams

Subject-Wise CBSE Class 12 Syllabus and Chapter-wise Weightage

CBSE has a specific marking scheme for Class 12 board exams. It is important for students to understand how their answers will be evaluated. 

The marking scheme will help students understand how their performance will be evaluated. This is crucial for preparing for the exam effectively. Each subject in Class 12 has a defined marking scheme split between theory and practical/internal assessment (where applicable).

Below is the marking scheme breakdown:

Marking Scheme For Class 12

For Science Subjects

  • Internal Assessment (Periodic Test, Notebook Submission, etc.) – 20 marks

  • Theory Exam – 80 marks

For Other Subjects

  • Internal Assessment (Periodic Test, Practical, etc.) – 20 marks

  • Theory Exam – 80 marks

Class-wise Exam Format

  • CBSE has different exam format or paper pattern at subject and class level.
  • Objective & Subjective Questions
  • Practical and internal assessment in Science and Social Science
  • Emphasis on analytical and reasoning-based questions
