MP Board Class 10 Syllabus 2027: Subject-wise Chapters and Weightage
The MP Board Class 10 syllabus for the 2026-27 session is prescribed by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) and covers the subjects tested in the board exam from 24 February to 18 March 2027. Maths, Science and Social Science follow the NCERT-based textbooks used in MP schools, while Hindi, Sanskrit and English use the state's prescribed books.
This page lists the chapters for each core subject, shows the chapter-wise weightage where it is available, and gives a plan to finish the syllabus before January. The board publishes the full 2026-27 syllabus and marking scheme as PDFs on its academics page. Parts of these files are scanned in a legacy font, so confirm small details such as prescribed poems or lessons with your school's copy.

Key Changes to Know for 2027
Best of five ends for Class 10: From the 2026-27 session you must pass every subject, so no subject in the syllabus can be left for later.
Mathematics has two papers: Standard and Basic papers share the same textbook and chapters. Basic is set at a lower difficulty level.
Fewer long answers: The revised 2026-27 paper has three long answers instead of four, and more weight on 2-mark questions, so cover every chapter rather than only the long-answer favourites.
Older pages may still show the 80 plus 20 marks split or the best of five rule, so follow the board's 2026-27 documents.
MP Board Class 10 Mathematics Syllabus
Both Standard and Basic Maths cover these 14 chapters. The difference lies in the difficulty of the questions, not in the chapter list.
Unit | Chapters | Start with |
|---|---|---|
Number systems and algebra | Real Numbers; Polynomials; Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables; Quadratic Equations; Arithmetic Progressions | Quadratic Equations and AP, which give quick, reliable marks |
Geometry and coordinate geometry | Triangles; Circles; Coordinate Geometry | Distance and section formula, then theorems on circles |
Trigonometry | Introduction to Trigonometry; Some Applications of Trigonometry | Standard values table and identities |
Mensuration | Areas Related to Circles; Surface Areas and Volumes | Formula sheet for combined solids |
Statistics and probability | Statistics; Probability | Mean, median and mode of grouped data |
Algebra and geometry together carry the largest share of marks, so finish them first. Statistics and probability are short chapters that reward steady practice with near-full marks.
MP Board Class 10 Science Syllabus and Weightage
Science has 13 chapters. The chapter-wise marks below are as reported for the current scheme and total 75; use them to plan, not as a guarantee of the paper.
Chapter | Marks |
|---|---|
Chemical Reactions and Equations | 7 |
Acids, Bases and Salts | 6 |
Metals and Non-metals | 5 |
Carbon and its Compounds | 6 |
Life Processes | 8 |
Control and Coordination | 6 |
How do Organisms Reproduce? | 6 |
Heredity and Evolution | 4 |
Light: Reflection and Refraction | 8 |
The Human Eye and the Colourful World | 5 |
Electricity | 5 |
Magnetic Effects of Electric Current | 6 |
Our Environment | 3 |
Total | 75 |
Life Processes and Light carry 8 marks each, and the four chemistry chapters together carry 24 marks. Start with these, and practise labelled diagrams of the heart, nephron, human eye and ray diagrams, because diagrams appear in short and long answers.
MP Board Class 10 Social Science Syllabus
Section | Chapters | Start with |
|---|---|---|
History (India and the Contemporary World II) | The Rise of Nationalism in Europe; Nationalism in India; The Making of a Global World; The Age of Industrialisation; Print Culture and the Modern World | Nationalism in India, with a dates list |
Geography (Contemporary India II) | Resources and Development; Forest and Wildlife Resources; Water Resources; Agriculture; Minerals and Energy Resources; Manufacturing Industries; Lifelines of the National Economy | Map items from Agriculture, Minerals and Industries |
Political Science (Democratic Politics II) | Power Sharing; Federalism; Gender, Religion and Caste; Political Parties; Outcomes of Democracy | Federalism and Political Parties |
Economics (Understanding Economic Development) | Development; Sectors of the Indian Economy; Money and Credit; Globalisation and the Indian Economy; Consumer Rights | Sectors of the Indian Economy |
The theory paper includes a 4-mark map question, usually on the Geography and History chapters. The board's Social Science syllabus also lists a project component for internal assessment, so check which projects your school has assigned.

The board publishes the prescribed lessons for each language in its syllabus PDF. Since lesson lists change between sessions, take the exact list from your school's copy of the MPBSE academics page files.
Internal Assessment: The Other 25 Marks
For regular students, 25 marks in each subject are awarded by the school. In Mathematics these are reported as 5 marks from the quarterly exam, 5 from the half-yearly exam and 15 from three projects. In Science the internal marks cover practical work and projects. Keep project files neat and submit them on time, because these marks are easier to earn than theory marks.
How to Cover the Syllabus Before the Board Exam
October to mid-November: Finish any pending chapters in Maths and Science first, then Social Science. Read each chapter from the textbook, not only from guides.
Mid-November to December: Revise grammar for all three languages and make one-page notes per chapter in every subject.
January: Take chapter tests, then full 75-mark papers under a 3-hour limit, and solve the board's model papers for 2025-26.
February: Revise from your notes and error log only. Practise maps, diagrams and formula recall daily.
