In this regard, the Nagaland Board of School Education, Kohima has rationalised the topics in the core subjects of Social Sciences, Mathematics and Science for Classes IX & X in line with National Council of Education Research and Training (NCERT) rationalised syllabus. The rationalised syllabus will be effective from this academic session i.e. 2022.
The contents of the syllabus /textbooks have been rationalised/dropped in view of the following:
- Content,which are easily accessible to students and can be self learnt.
- Content, which is irrelevant in the present context.
- Difficulty level.
- Content overlapping with similar content included in other subjects.
All Heads of Institutions have been requested to note the change and disseminate it to their concerned subject teachers so that they can instruct and guide the students properly. The rationalised syllabus will be hosted in the Board’s portal www.nbsenl.edu.in and shared in the district WhatsApp groups.
Further, it is to be noted that the rationalised topics or contents shall not be assessed in the final examinations.
