CBSE Class 12 Maths Syllabus 2025-26

 

The CBSE Class 12 Maths Syllabus for the academic year 2025-26 is prepared  to give the best foundation in various topics in the subject. It helps students get an in-depth understanding of different mathematical concepts that are essential for higher education in engineering, commerce, data science, economics, and more. This CBSE syllabus follows the latest NCERT framework in their CBSE curriculum which is divided into two books for better understanding (Mathematics I and Mathematics II) to cover all units thoroughly.

These two NCERT books in CBSE syllabus class 12 maths ensure a structured approach and make it easier for students to learn, practice, and apply mathematical logic step-by-step. From Calculus and Algebra to Probability and Linear Programming, the topics are very much important for students to learn in a logical order across these two books.

Key Learning Outcomes from CBSE Syllabus Class 12 Maths:

  • Students will understand integration methods in detail, including substitution, parts, and partial fractions, helping them solve various complex problems easily.
  • Concept of exponential and logarithmic functions. Logarithmic differentiation, derivative of functions expressed in parametric forms like second order derivatives.
  • Through differential equations, students will learn the rate of change of quantities, increasing/decreasing functions, maxima and minima. Simple problems (that illustrate basic principles of the subject as well as real life situations).
  • Solving problems to new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.
  • Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Basic properties of definite integrals and evaluation of definite integrals.
  • The linear programming section improves logical thinking by solving various difficult problems used in business and resource planning.
  • Learners will master probability concepts, including Bayes' Theorem and independent events, essential for data science and statistics.
  • Applications in finding the area under simple curves, especially lines, circles/ parabolas/ellipses (in standard form only)
  • Vectors and scalars, magnitude and direction of a vector, types of vectors (equal, unit, zero, parallel and collinear vectors), position vector of a point, negative of a vector, components of a vector, addition of vectors, multiplication of a vector by a scalar, position vector of a point dividing a line segment in a given ratio.
