PREFACE
The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council has the responsibility to take different steps
to promote quality education to the learners of +2 stage in order to expose the learners to a suitable
academic atmosphere through which they can get quality education. The quality education comes
from the effective learning process which is based on the curriculum, syllabus and the textbooks.
Hence, the revision of Curriculum, Syllabi and Textbook is a continuous and time demanding process
to keep the learners well acquaint with the rapid development in different areas.
Keeping conformity with the National Curriculum Framework, 2005(NCF-2005), the Assam
Higher Secondary Education Council has taken up the task of updating and revision of the Syllabus
and textbooks of all subjects of different academic streams in phased manner. Initially, to maintain the
uniformity with the National standard and with a view to provide a wide platform to our learners, the
Council has adopted/adapted 14(fourteen) subjects from NCERT and it has already been implemented
from the academic session 2010-2011. In addition to it, the Council has developed syllabus and textbooks
on Education, Logic & Philosophy. Home Science, Environmental Education and some of the MIL
subjects on the basis of NCF-2005.
It is expected that the teachers and students will derive maximum benefit and enrich qualities
by interacting with the revised Curricula and Syllabi.
Suggestions from concerned bodies and persons will be highly appreciated for further
improvement in the succeeding years.

ENGLISH (Core)
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE

Background :
Students are expected to have acquired a reasonable degree of language proficiency in English by
the time they come to class XII, and the course will aim, essentially, at promoting the higher-order language
skills.
For a large number of students, the higher secondary stage will be a preparation for the university,
where a fairly high degree of proficiency in English may be required. But for another large group, the
higher secondary stage may be a preparation for entry into the world of work. The Core Course should
cater to both groups by promoting the language skills required for academic study as well as the language
skills required for the workplace.

Objectives :
The general objectives at this stage are :
to listen to and comprehend live as well as recorded oral presentations on a variety of topics,
to develop greater confidence and proficiency in the use of language skills necessary for social
and academic purposes.
to participate in group discussions/interviews, making short oral presentations on given topics.
to perceive the overall meaning and organisation of the text (i.e., the relationships of the different
chunks in the text to each other).
to identify the central/main point and supporting details, etc.
to build communicative competence in various registers of English.
to promote advanced language skills with an aim to develop the skills of reasoning, drawing inferences,
etc. through meaningful activities.
to translate texts from mother tongue (s) into English and vice versa.
to develop ability and knowledge required in order to engage in independent reflection and enquiry.
to develop the capacity to appreciate literary use of English and also use English creatively and
imaginatively.
At the end of this stage, learners will be able to do the following:
Read and comprehend extended texts (prescribed and non-prescribed) in the following genres: fiction,
science fiction, drama, poetry, biography, autobiography, travel and sports literature, etc.
Text-based writing (i.e., writing in response to questions or tasks based on prescribed
or unseen texts)
Understand and respond to lectures, speeches, etc.
Write expository/argumentative essays of 250-500 words, explaining or developing a topic, arguing
a case, etc.
Write formal/informal letters and applications for different purposes.
Write items related to the workplace (minutes, memoranda, notices, summaries, reports; filling up
of forms, preparing CVs, etc.).
Taking/making notes from reference materials, recorded talks etc.

Language Items :
The Core Course should draw upon the language items meant for their language proficiency. Particular
attention may, however, be given to the following areas of grammar:

33

Syllabi for H.S. Final Year

The uses of different tense forms for different kinds of narration.

The use of passive forms in scientific and innovative writings.
Converting one kind of sentence/clause into a different kind of structure as well as other items
to exemplify stylistic variations in different discourses.
A conscious knowledge of some grammatical rules and sound pattems may be useful and interesting
at this stage.

Methods and Techniques :

The techniques used for teaching should promote habits of self-learning and reduce dependence on
the teacher. In general, we recommend a multi-skill, learner-centred, activity based approach, of which
there can be many variations. The core classroom activity is likely to be that of silent reading of prescribed/
selected texts for comprehension, which can lead to other forms of language learning activities such as
role play, dramatization, group discussion, writing, etc. although many such activities could be carried out
without the preliminary use of textual material. It is important that students be trained to read independently
and intelligently, interacting actively with texts, with the use of reference materials (dictionaries, thesauruses,
etc.) where necessary. Some pre-reading activity will generally be required, and the course books should
suggest suitable activities, leaving teachers free to devise other activities when desired. So also, the reading
of texts should be followed by post reading activities. It is important to remember that every text can
generate different readings. Students should be encouraged to interpret texts in different ways.
Group and pair activities can be resorted to when desired, but many useful language activities can
be carried out individually.
In general, teachers should encourage students to interact actively with texts and with each other.
Oral activity (group discussion, etc.) should be encouraged.

CHEMISTRY
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE
Rationale :
Higher Secondary is the most crucial stage of school education because at this juncture specialized discipline
based, content-oriented courses are introduced. Students reach this stage after 10 years of general education
and opt for Chemistry with a purpose of pursuing their career in basic sciences or professional courses like
medical, engineering, technology and study courses in applied areas of science and technology at tertiary level.
Therefore, there is a need to provide learners with sufficient conceptual background of Chemistry, which will
make them competent to meet the challenges of academic and professional courses after the higher secondary
stage.
The new and updated curriculum is based on disciplinary approach with rigour and depth taking care that the
syllabus is not heavy and at the same time it is comparable to the international level. The knowledge related to
the subject of Chemistry has undergone tremendous changes during the past decade: Many new areas like
synthetic materials, bio-molecules, natural resources, industrial chemistry are coming in a big way and deserve
to be an integral part of chemistry syllabus at senior secondary stage. At international level, new formulations
and nomenclature of elements and compounds, symbols and units of physical quantities floated by scientific
bodies like IUPAC and CGPM are of immense importance and need to be incorporated in the updated syllabus.
The revised syllabus takes care of all these aspects. Greater emphasis has been laid on use of new nomenclature, symbols and formulations, teaching of fundamental concepts, applications of concepts in chemistry to
industry/ technology, logical sequencing of units, removal of obsolete content and repetition etc.
Objectives :
The broad objectives of teaching Chemistry at Senior Secondary Stage are to help the learners:

To promote understanding of basic facts and concepts in chemistry while retaining the excitement of
chemistry.

To make students capable of studying chemistry in academic and professional courses (such as medical,
engineering, technology) at tertiary level.

To expose the students to various emerging new areas of chemistry and apprise them with their relevance in their future studies and their application in various spheres of chemical sciences and technology.

To equip students to face various changes related to health, nutrition, environment, population, weather,
industries and agriculture.

To develop problem solving skills of students.

To expose the students to different processes used in industries and their technological applications.

To apprise students with interface of chemistry with other disciplines of science such as physics, biology,
geology, engineering etc.

To acquaint students with different aspects of chemistry used in daily life.

To develop an interest in students to study chemistry as a discipline.

BIOLOGY
The present syllabus reinforces the ideas introduced in the lower classes while the students learn
new concepts besides getting an exposure to contemporary areas of the subject. The syllabus also aims
at emphasizing on the underlying principles which are common to both animals and plants as well as
highlighting the relationship of biology with other areas of knowledge. The format of the syllabus allows
a simple, clear, consequential flow of concepts without any jarring jumps. The syllabus also stresses on
the connection of the study of Biology to real life problems, use of biological discoveries/innovations in
everyday life in environment, industry, health and agriculture. The updated syllabus also focuses on reducing
the curriculum load while ensuring that ample opportunities and scope for learning and appreciating basic
concepts of the subject continue to be available within its framework.
The prescribed syllabus is expected to

Promote understanding of basic principles of biology

encourage learning of emerging knowledge and its relevance to individual and society

Promote rational/specific attitude to issues related to population, environment and development

Enhance awareness about environmental issues and problems and the appropriate solutions

Create awareness amongst the learners about variations amongst the living, and developing respect
for the diversities and to appreciate that the most complex biological phenomena are also built on
essentially simple processes.
It is expected that the students would get an exposure to various branches of Biology in the syllabus
in a more contextual and friendly manner as they study its various units.

GEOGRAPHY
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE
Rationale :
Geography is introduced as an elective subject at the higher secondary stage. After ten years of general
education, students branch out at the beginning of this stage and are exposed to the rigours of the discipline for
the first time. Being an entry point for the higher education, students choose geography for pursuing their
academic interest and, therefore, need a broader and deeper understanding of the subject. For others, geographical
knowledge is useful in daily lives because it is a valuable medium for the education of young people. Its contributions lie in the content, cognitive processes, skills and values that geography promotes and thus helps the students
explore, understand and evaluate the environmental and social dimensions of the world in a better manner.
Since geography explores the relationship between people and their environment, it includes studies of
physical and human environments and their interactions at different scales local, state/region, nation and the
world. The fundamental principles responsible for the varieties in the distributional pattern of physical and human
features and phenomena over the earths surface need to be understood properly. Application of these principles
would be taken up through selected case studies from the world and India. Thus, the physical and human
environment of India and study of some issues from a geographical point of view will be covered in greater
detail. Students will be exposed to different methods used in geographical investigations.
Common Core Components (NPE 1986) such as Indias common cultural heritage, equality of sexes,
protection of environment, observance of the small family norm and inculcation of scientific temper will be
reflected in the geography syllabus.
The geography course will incorporate some issues of NCF2005 such as making children sensitive to
environment and its protection to nature and preserve the environment, and using geographical knowledge in
understanding various environmental and socio-economic issues of the community, region and the country, e.g.
gender and marginalised groups.

Objectives :
The course in geography will help learners :

Familiarise themselves with the terms, key concepts and basic principles of geography;

Search for, recognise and understand the processes and patterns of the spatial arrangement of the natural
as well as human features and phenomena on the earths surface;

Understand and analyse the inter-relationship between physical and human environments and their impact;

Apply geographical knowledge and methods of inquiry to new situations or problems at different levels
local/regional, national and global;

Develop geographical skills, relating to collection, processing and analysis of data/information and
preparation of report including maps and graphics and use of computers wherever possible; and

Utilize geographical knowledge in understanding issues concerning the community such as environmental
issues, socio-economic concerns, gender and become responsible and effective member of the community.

ECONOMICS
SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE
Rationale :
Economics is one of the social sciences which has a lot of influence on every human being yet
was received little attention in the school curriculum in India. As economic life and the economy go
through changes, the need to ground education in childrens own experience becomes essential. While
doing so, it is imperative to provide them with opportunities to acquire analytical skills to observe and
understand the economic realities. Bringing economics as an abstract knowledge in the early stages of
school education would promote rote learning of the subject.
At the higher secondary stage, learners are in a position to understand abstract ideas, exercise
the power of thinking and to develop their own perception. It is at this stage, the learners are exposed
to the rigour of the discipline of economics in a systematic way.
Economics courses are being introduced in such a way that, in the initial stage, the learners are
introduced to the economic realities that the nation is facing today along with some basic statistical tools
to understand these broader economic realities. In the later stage, the learners are to be introduced to
economics as a theory of abstraction.
The economics course also contain many projects and activities. These will provide opportunities
for the learners to explore various economic issues both from their day-to-day life and also issues which
are broader and invisible in nature. The academic skills that they acquire in these courses would help
to develop the projects and activities. The syllabus is also expected to provide opportunities to use information
and communication technologies to facilitate their learning process.

Objectives :

Understanding of some basic economic concepts and developing economic reasoning which the
learners can apply in their day-to-day life as citizens, workers and consumers.

Realisation or learners role in nation building and sensitive them to the economic issues that the
nation is facing today.

To equip learners with basic tools of economics and statistics to analyse economic issues. This
is pertinent for even those who may not pursue this course beyond the higher secondary stage.

To develop an understanding that there can be more than one view on any economic issue and
to develop the skills to argue logically with reasoning.

The economics subject should be taught in four semesters at the higher secondary stage. The details
of course for each semester are as follows :
H.S. First year : (i) Statistics for Economics, (ii) Indian Economic Development.
H.S. Second year : (i) Introductory Microeconomics (ii) Introductory Macroeconomics

LOGIC AND PHILOSOPHY

SYLLABUS FOR HIGHER SECONDARY COURSE
Objective :
Philosophy enquires into the meaning and significance of life and the world. It is called a second
order discipline in so far as it enquires into the foundations and presuppositions of various disciplines.
Logic is a Science which deals with forms of arguments. In an extended sense it studies the methodology
of deductive as well as inductive Science. Modern logic is a fastly developing Science and it is closely
related to mathematics. It does not cancel the Aristotelian logic but points out its limitations. So in the
syllabus, we intend to acquaint the students with the elements of traditional logic, modern logic and scientific
method. The syllabus will also acquaint students with a few essential problems of Western and Indian
Philosophy.

biotechnology includes recombinant DNA technology (genetic engineering), hybridoma technology and
monoclonal antibody preparation, cell and tissue culture, DNA fingerprinting, protoplast fusion, protein
engineering, immobilized enzyme technology, cell catalysis, biosensor and several others. Biotechnology
has emerged as one of the frontline technologies in recent times. Biotechnology with its most recent
offshoot Bioinformatics is being projected as the technology that would have the greatest impact in
the coming years worldwide.
With the exponential growth of human population, it becomes urgent to improve the production process
and capabilities for the increased production of food, fuel, medicine, enzymes, fermented items, fibers,
vaccines and biofertilizers. It also becomes important to ensure protection, conservation and sustainable
utilization of our natural resources. Biotechnology has the answer for these problems. Application of
biotechnology has been proved to be fruitful for meeting the need of the modern human society,
Inclusion of Biotechnology in higher secondary level courses is considered as important to create
a base and interest among the students for higher education, training and research in Biotechnology.
In view of this the present syllabus is designed to cater needs of the Biotechnology education for the
higher secondary students of Assam. The theoretical topics and experiments are selected and organized
such a way so that the students can earn basic concept and interlink the various topics and techniques.
It is expected that the student will gain appropriate knowledge and acquire practical skill on the subject.
It is also anticipated that the course will make the students competent to meet up the challenges of
both academic and professional courses beyond the secondary level.

Objectives :
The objectives of teaching Biotechnology at Higher Secondary level are :
1.
To create an interest among the students of H.S. Classes to study Biotechnology courses.
2.
To help the students to know and acquire basic information and concept in the subject.
3.

resources & skills and how these can be utilized in establishing business ventures.
Institutional Visit : Students visit to financial institutions, promotional organizations, industry associations,
research institutions and banks would help them in collecting information on availability of finance, technology,
raw-materials and export potentials.
Establishment of a Commercial Activities Centre : The educational institutions can take up the initiative
to establish a Commercial Activities Centre (CAC) within the institution. Such a centre may include a stationery
shop, canteen etc. to be run by the students or the members of Entrepreneurship forum. The main objective
of the CAC is to provide students hand-on-experience of managing a commercial activity. Later on, the
Centre can extend its role by providing market opportunities for the products designed and produced by
the students. This will promote not only new initiatives among the students but also experimental learning
in Entrepreneurship.
