In the academic year 2023-24, CBSE has implemented substantial changes to the CBSE Class 10 Mathematics syllabus, reducing it by 30%. This decisive action aims to ease the academic burden on students and teachers while emphasizing the fundamentals of mathematics. The CBSE has ensured the accessibility of this revised syllabus by making it available for download on its official website, cbseacademic.nic.in.
The revised CBSE Class 10 Mathematics syllabus for 2023-24 includes seven units: number systems, algebra, coordinate geometry, geometry, trigonometry, mensuration, statistics and probability. This program is divided into two sections: part A (theory, 80 points) and part B (internal evaluation, 20 points). To pass the CBSE Class 10 Mathematics exam, students will need to achieve a minimum score of 33%. Here is a look at the chapter-wise cleared topics for CBSE Class X Mathematics Board Exam 2024.

The proofs of the following theorems are removed: If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on either side of the perpendicular are similar to the entire triangle and to each other. The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding sides. In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, the angle opposite the first side is a right angle. |
