Class 12th is a significant step for the student's academic life because their future career depends on the marks obtained by them in the board examination. The CBSE Class 12 syllabus contains a few significant topics that form a major part of the higher education. Mathematics subject is a significant subject that shapes the career of the students after schooling. Mathematics subject is a very important subject in every competitive and school level examination. Having a decent hold on the Maths subject will be a reward for the students. So, students should know the 12th Maths syllabus in detail.

• Students should have a strong grasp on mathematics this will help them in practicing many essential topics in which they have to apply formulas and concepts.
• In 12th class Commerce subjects, there are 4 main subjects i.e. Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics, and English. And many optional subjects like Maths, Informatics Practices, Hindi, Physical Education, Home Science, Entrepreneurship, and legal Studies.
• Mathematics is an optional subject but it is important for the students as much as other main subjects of class 12th

We are providing here the previous year’s paper for the students so that they will get to know the pattern and syllabus of the exam. Also, they will get some preparation tips after seeing the previous year's papers.

In this article, you will get to know about the detailed class 12th maths syllabus, deleted portion of class 12th maths syllabus, and weightage of each topic of the 12th maths syllabus.
