 Here is the official CBSE Class 12 Maths (Code 041) Syllabus and Exam Pattern for 2025–26, including units, their marks allocation, and chapter-wise breakdown:


📘 Class 12 Maths Syllabus 2025–26

Total Marks: 80 (Theory) + 20 (Internal Assessment)

🗓️ Exam Structure & Marks

  • Theory Exam – 3 hours, 80 marks

  • Internal Assessment – 20 marks (10 for Periodic Tests + 10 for Activities) 


📊 Units & Marks Allocation

Unit No. Unit Name Marks
I Relations & Functions 8
II Algebra 10
III Calculus (Continuity, Differentiability, Integrals, DE) 35
IV Vectors & 3‑D Geometry 14
V Linear Programming 5
VI Probability 8
Total 80

🔍 Chapter-wise Breakdown

Unit I – Relations & Functions (8 marks)

  • Relations: reflexive, symmetric, transitive, equivalence

  • Functions: one-to-one, onto, inverse

  • Inverse trigonometric functions

Unit II – Algebra (10 marks)

  • Matrices: operations, types, invertibility

  • Determinants: up to 3×3, properties, area of triangle, adjoint & inverse, solving linear equations

Unit III – Calculus (35 marks)

  • Continuity & Differentiability

  • Derivatives: composite, inverse trig, exponential/logarithmic, parametric, second order

  • Applications: rate of change, tangent/sketching curves, maxima/minima

  • Integrals: Indefinite & definite, properties

  • Applications of Integrals: area under curves, between curves

  • Differential Equations: formation, solution

Unit IV – Vectors & 3‑D Geometry (14 marks)

  • Vectors: operations, scalar & vector products, applications

  • 3D geometry: direction cosines, direction ratios, equation of lines & planes

Unit V – Linear Programming (5 marks)

  • Formulation from word problems

  • Graphical method in 2 variables: feasible region, vertices, optimal solutions

Unit VI – Probability (8 marks)

  • Conditional probability, independent events, multiplication rule

  • Total probability theorem, Bayes' theorem


🧾 Exam Pattern – Question Distribution

Per sample marking scheme for 2025–26 

  • Section A – 20 Qs × 1 mark (MCQs / Assertion-Reason) = 20

  • Section B – 5 Qs × 2 marks = 10

  • Section C – 6 Qs × 3 marks = 18

  • Section D – 4 Qs × 5 marks = 20

  • Section E – 3 Case-based Qs × 4 marks = 12

  • Total = 80 marks

Internal choices (≈33%) are provided in each section; full choices are not allowed.


In summary:

  • Cover all six units thoroughly, with a heavy focus on Calculus (35 marks) and solid preparation in Vectors, Algebra, and Probability.

  • Practice MCQs, Assertion–Reason, short answers, long answers, and case-based questions.

  • Internal assessment (20 marks) consists of school periodic tests and activity work.
