WEST BENGAL COUNCIL OF HIGHER SECONDARY EDUCATION
SYLLABUS FOR CLASS XI AND XII
SUBJECT : MATHEMATICS ( MATH )

Course Objectives
The Mathematics curriculum has undergone periodic revisions in response to the field's expansion and the changing
demands of society. The senior secondary stage serves as a springboard for students to pursue professional
programs in engineering, physical and biological science, commerce, or computer applications, or to pursue higher
education in mathematics. In order to address the evolving demands of all student categories, the current revised
syllabus has been created. More focus has been placed on the application of certain principles, drawing inspiration
for the issues from real-world scenarios and other academic disciplines.

The following are the main goals of teaching mathematics to senior school students:

 To develop general interest in Mathematics as a discipline.


 To gain critical insight and knowledge of fundamental terminology, concepts, principles, symbols, and skills,
especially through motivation and visualization, as well as mastery of underlying procedures and abilities.
 To experience the logic flowing while demonstrating an outcome or resolving an issue.
 To use the gained information and abilities to solve issues, using many approaches where feasible.
 To familiarize students with the various applications of mathematics in everyday life.
 Developing a sense of appreciation and respect for notable mathematicians and their contributions to
mathematics is important.
 To cultivate an optimistic outlook in order to reason, evaluate, and speak coherently.
 To cultivate curiosity for the topic by taking part in competitions related to it.

Course Outcomes

At the end of the course the students are expected to develop expertise in various areas of the subject and gain
critical insights into the background dynamics of the problem solving process.

The following are the major course outcomes. A student is expected to:

 Develop problem solving skills and apply mathematical concepts to real life situations.
 Cultivate critical thinking and analytical skills in mathematical context.
 Collaborate with peers to solve complex mathematical problems.
 Make predictions and draw conclusions based on statistical data.
 Get a preliminary idea of using technology, like calculators in problem solving.
 Effectively communicate mathematical ideas and solutions both verbally and in writing.
 Present mathematical arguments and justifications.
 Prepare for standardized examinations based on the curriculum.
 Understand the relevance of mathematics in real-world applications.

SYLLABUS FOR CLASSES XI AND XII
SUBJECT : PHYSICS ( PHYS )

Preamble:

This Higher Secondary level Physics syllabus has been framed in such a way that it can serve as a bridge between the
general physical science course taught at the secondary level and the discipline based curriculum followed at higher
education. Effort has been given to make this crucial transition as smooth as possible.

The syllabus is divided into Units spread over two year’s duration. The Units are logically so arranged that the
students can gradually learn the different topics of Physics with higher degree of difficulty. Conventional topics as
well as modern concepts have been included in the syllabus so that the students can cope up with the present day
needs of the society committed to the use of Physics and technology. Both breadth and depth wise the syllabus is
comparable with the national as well as international standards. At the same time emphasis has been given to
reduce the syllabus load by eliminating overlapping contents within the subject or with other subjects.

Hope the students will enjoy learning Physics at this stage and will develop passion for the subject.

Outcome:

 The students will learn the basic physics laws and will develop conceptual understanding of the physical
processes.
 Students will be able to understand and analysis the real-life events from physics point of view.
 Develop problem solving ability, experimental ability and analytical skills.
 Sufficient conceptual background of physics will be created to make the students competent to meet the
requirements of academic and professional courses after the higher secondary stage.
 Interest will be developed for pursuing career in Physics.
 Inculcate scientific aptitude in the learners.
