Curriculum Areas at Secondary Level
The Secondary School Curriculum acknowledges the fact that subjects like Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Science help the cognitive development of the child and, therefore, require a greater academic emphasis. Further, the National Education Policy also envisions the all-round development of students in consonance with the holistic approach to education and therefore, emphasizes integration of co-curricular domains with curricular activities in an equitable manner.
In operational sense, the secondary curriculum is learner focused and we at Academy of Learning stress on building independent thinking and preparatory skills needed to succeed the challenge.
The revised and restructured syllabus for Class X Science covers selected topics in the broad themes of
- Materials, The World of Living, How Things Work, Natural Phenomena & Natural Resources
The board has followed an integrated approach to science at this level of Class X, with no sharp divisions into disciplines such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Environmental Science.

The Class X Science module is envisaged to prepare students for the future. After Class X, the students are catapulted to new ways of learning and into the competitive world.
The students need a solid foundation during Class X to be able to compete in both Medical ( NEET UG ) and Engineering Entrance Tests ( JEE ).
The NEET UG Examination attracts a large number of applicants every year. It is highly competitive in nature and is one of the toughest Examinations providing opportunity to aspiring students like you to study Medicine or Dental as your career. The standard of questions are high and you can only answer correctly if you have a deep understanding of the subject and use your analytical skills to understand the question. If you are consistent in your approach and follow a disciplined regimen of studies and practice, you can excel and get admissions to some of the best Medical or Dental colleges of your choice in India.
This needs a steady preparation from students and they have to start it during their Class X stage
We are with you at every stage for any expert guidance that you may need and we at Academy of Learning, through our flagship platform ePractiz, strive to provide you a robust platform for consistently practicing what you are learning.
