CBSE Board Class 12: New Syllabus for Chemistry 2022-23

Know the Important Topics, Weightage & Deleted Chapters of Chemistry Class 12

It is very important to know for students that CBSE Board 2022-23 session has released the much-awaited syllabus for Class 12, and the major change being that this year’s paper will be conducted only once instead of previously being conducted twice for Term 1 and Term-2.

Focus on NCERT for Scoring High in Chemistry

So, it becomes mandatory for the concerned students to focus on the minute details of this changed syllabus in order to score well in the exam. Hence; the best way to do this is to entirely focus on the NCERT text-book and point out those topics which are not there in the syllabus as per the text-book. 

In this way, it becomes relatively easier to prepare for the upcoming examination and easily remember the updated syllabus in complete detail.

Importance to the Units of Chemistry as per Weightage

Also; the allotted weightage is extremely essential in order to plan the method of preparing for CBSE Board exams. For instance, organic chemistry carries the maximum weightage (33 marks) among all units and is crucial to the overall preparation. So are the other units as well but a priority must definitely be set, according to different weightages, in order to maximize the efforts. 

Further details of different units along with the corresponding marks is as discussed below:

1. Physical Chemistry: 22
2. Inorganic Chemistry: 14
3. Organic Chemistry: 34

Total: 70 Marks

and

Internal Assessment: 30 Marks
