For succeeding in your CBSE Class 11 Mathematics exams, planning and preparation are necessary. For the academic session 2025-26, the CBSE board has introduced a modified NCERT Class 11 maths syllabus, withdrawing certain topics. It is necessary for you to understand that modifying the NCERT Class 11 maths syllabus with withdrawn topics is very essential.
To prepare efficiently and effectively, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the removed syllabus. When you have an insight into the topics that are removed from the syllabus, you are in a position to avoid unnecessary preparation in those topics. This will help to decrease stress levels and increase chances of acquiring a top score.
