The Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (JKBOSE) has published the updated syllabus for Class 12 Science stream for the 2025–2026 academic session. The syllabus follows the latest National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and aligns with the NCERT guidelines, making it easier for students to prepare for board exams and national-level tests like NEET, JEE, and CUET.
The new syllabus helps students build a strong base in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics. It also adds more focus on experiments, projects, and understanding practical knowledge instead of just memorizing theory. With a strong emphasis on real-world applications, this curriculum prepares students not only for final exams but also for future academic and career paths.
Syllabus Valid for All Zones
This syllabus is the same for both Winter Zone and Summer Zone students. JKBOSE has kept the content and marking scheme equal across all regions. Only the exam schedule may be different.
Medical and Non-Medical Streams – Key Differences
The Science stream in JKBOSE is broadly divided into two categories:
- Medical Stream – This stream is chosen by students who want to pursue careers in medicine, dentistry, veterinary sciences, or biological research. It includes Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and English, with one elective.
- Non-Medical Stream – This stream is ideal for students aiming for engineering, architecture, or physical sciences. It includes Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English, with one elective.
Students can also choose additional electives like Computer Science, Statistics, or Environmental Science, depending on their interests and career goals.
Subjects in Science Stream (Compulsory + Elective)
In the Science stream, students typically study three main science subjects along with English. The fifth subject is elective, and students can choose it based on their academic preference or future plans. This allows flexibility and diversity in learning.
