CBSE has decided to reduce the syllabus for Class 10. Candidates who are appearing in the CBSE Board Exam in 2023 must be aware of the chapters and topics that have been removed. The CBSE board has removed about 30% of the entire CBSE Class 10 Science Syllabus. To make the exam preparation process simpler for candidates and lighten the workload, some chapters and topics have been eliminated from the CBSE syllabus.
Learn which chapters and subjects will not be covered in the CBSE Class 10 Science Board Exam in 2023. For complete details on the CBSE Science Deleted Syllabus Class 10th 2022–23, read the article through to the end.
CBSE Class 10 Science Deleted Syllabus 2022-23
| Chapter Name | Topics Deleted |
| Periodic Classification
(Full Chapter Deleted) |
Need for classification, early attempts at classification of elements (Dobereiner’s Triads, Newland’s Law of Octaves, and Mendeleev’s Periodic Table), Modern periodic table, gradation in properties, valency, atomic number, metallic and non-metallic properties. |
| Heredity and Evolution | Basic concepts of evolution: evolution; evolution and classification and evolution should not be equated with progress |
| The Human Eye and the Colourful World | Application of scattering in explaining colour change of the sun at sunrise and sunset |
| Magnetic Effects of Current | Electric Motor, Electromagnetic induction. Induced potential difference, Induced current. Fleming’s Right Hand Rule, Electric Generator, |
| Sources of Energy
(Full Chapter Deleted) |
Different forms of energy, conventional and non-conventional sources of energy: Fossil fuels, solar energy; biogas; wind, water and tidal energy; Nuclear energy. Renewable versus non-renewable sources of Energy. |
| Management of Natural Resources
(This chapter will not be assessed in the year-end examination. It needs to be prepared only for Internal Assessment.) |
Conservation and judicious use of natural resources. Forest and wildlife: Coal and Petroleum conservation. Examples of people’s participation for conservation of natural resources. Big dams: advantages and limitations; alternatives, if any. Water harvesting. Sustainability of natural resources. |
All these form the part of CBSE Science Deleted Syllabus Class 10th. Now let us have a look at the syllabus for the Practical Exam.
