CBSE Class 11 Geography Syllabus 2023-24: The Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) is the topmost education body in India and has released the latest syllabus for class 11. In the last couple of years, the CBSE board has reduced and rationalised the syllabus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeping in mind the positive feedback and less stress on students, the board has kept the changes.
It’s important to know the latest and correct syllabus before you begin your preparation for the ongoing session year. The CBSE class 11 geography syllabus has been modified the most, and several topics have been trimmed or deleted. The NCERT books have been changed as well.
The rationalisation is a long-overdue measure as many parts of the curriculum were outdated, and the CBSE board also intends for the overall development of students with added emphasis on extracurricular activities and sports in addition to studies.
You can check the updated syllabus with all the rationalised topics below. But first, take a look at the complete 2023-24 CBSE class 11 Geography syllabus.
