Biology All the chapters of XI and XII biology are equally important with more emphasis on XI biology The

analysis of previous year papers has shown that the unit, 'Structural Organisation in Plants and Animals' in Grade XI contributes to the maximum number of questions. In Grade XII, the units 'Biology for human welfare' and 'Ecology' are important. The given table illustrates the unit-wise allocation of questions in past 3 years.

Chemistry

The chapters of XI and XII are equally important. The chapters which are the most important are: Inorganic chemistry: p-block elements, d and f-block elements, coordination compounds Organic chemistry: IUPAC nomenclature, oxygen and nitrogen containing compounds Physical chemistry: Solutions, Electrochemistry, States of Matter, Equilibrium, Chemical Kinetics The table given below shows the chapter-wise allocation of questions in the past 3 years.
