Curriculum updation is a continuous process and hence the Board brings out revised curricula every year. It is obligatory for the Schools and the students preparing for the Board's examination of a particular year to follow the syllabi, courses and the books prescribed by it for that year. No deviation from the ones prescribed is permissible. All concerned are, therefore, strongly advised to purchase the curriculum prescribed for the year concerned from the CBSE
Headquarters or its Regional Offices for their information and use. Orders with the required price and postage
