Physics being a nightmare of a subject for students to prepare has a vast and expansive syllabus. Due to which students consider Physics especially difficult. Although, Physics isn’t that difficult it isn’t a piece of cake either. Students need to have knowledge of Class 12th CBSE Physics if they want to have a career in fields like engineering, architecture etc. The CBSE Class 12th Students aiming for cracking competitive exams like JEE or NEET should score good marks in Physics as it represents their knowledge of the subject. Physics contains most of all, derivations and formulas which make up for most of its difficult part. There is also an abundance of numerical which scare students off. However, knowing the syllabus can be a lot more advantageous for Class 12th CBSE students as it will help them to get an idea of the structure of the CBSE Class 12th Physics Board Examination and also help them to get a good grasp on the various topics of Class 12th CBSE Physics. Having good knowledge of Class 12th CBSE syllabus would also help a student to plan his/her studies and prepare a timetable accordingly. Students can benefit a lot from learning and understanding Physics because it helps in the development of observational, experimental and decision-making skills in students. Also, to appreciate the interface of Physics with surrounding is the principal objective of the subject in the CBSE curriculum. There are a lot of experiments, lab activities and practical activities to do. Given below is the breakdown and analysis of the CBSE Class 12th Physics syllabus:
| Unit | Chapter / Topic | Marks |
| I | Electrostatics | 15 |
| Chapter-1: Electric Charges and Fields | ||
| Chapter-2: Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance | ||
| II | Current Electricity | |
| Chapter-3: Current Electricity | ||
| III | Magnetic Effect of Current & Magnetism | 16 |

| Chapter-10: Wave Optics | ||
| VII | Dual Nature of Matter | 10 |
| Chapter-11: Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter | ||
| VIII | Atoms & Nuclei | |
| Chapter-12: Atoms | ||
| Chapter-13: Nuclei | ||
| IX | Electronic Devices | 12 |
| Chapter-14: Semiconductor Electronics | ||
| X | Communication Systems | |
| Chapter-15: Communication Systems | ||
| Total | 70 |
As we can see from the table above, Unit V carries the most amount of marks as it is one of the most improved units of Physics. To score good marks in the Class 12th CBSE board exams. A student should pay special attention to Electromagnetic Waves to score good marks. Electricity and Magnetism are also one of the most important chapters and carry a lot of marks. However, to truly succeed in their board examinations a student should aim to balance out time give to each unit and work accordingly. One should not neglect the chapters carrying fewer marks and should give then equal importance. The unit which carries more marks is Unit III which is solely based upon magnetism. An understanding of the concepts is required to grasp the contents of the chapter.Read More
