MP Board 12th Syllabus 2027: Subject-wise Chapters for Science, Commerce and Arts
The MP Board 12th syllabus for the 2027 exam is the 2026-27 curriculum published by the Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE). For most Science, Commerce and Social Science subjects the board follows NCERT Class 12 textbooks, while Hindi, Sanskrit and some other subjects use MP Board textbooks. Theory exams start on 17 February 2027, so the syllabus should be finished by the end of December to leave time for practice papers.
This page lists the chapters by subject, points out where to start, and gives a week-by-week plan. MPBSE publishes the 2026-27 curriculum and subject-wise marking schemes in the Academics section of its website. The chapter lists below follow the NCERT textbooks the board prescribes. Use them as a working checklist, and confirm any change against the official curriculum PDF.

Key Changes to Know for 2026-27
Revised question format: for 2026-27 the board moved towards more concept and application questions, and published fresh subject-wise marking schemes. Practise explaining and applying ideas, not just memorising answers.
Same curriculum base: the change is to the question style, not a switch to another board's syllabus. NCERT chapters remain the base for most subjects.
Older lists: some pages still show reduced or "deleted" syllabus lists from earlier sessions. Follow the 2026-27 curriculum instead.

Languages: Hindi and English
Hindi follows the MP Board textbooks with prose, poetry, grammar and writing sections such as letters and essays. English covers the prescribed prose and poetry, reading comprehension, grammar and writing tasks. Language papers are often the first scored papers in the time table, on 23 and 26 February 2027, so do not leave them for the end.
Practical and Project Work
Subject type | What is assessed | How to plan |
|---|---|---|
Physics, Chemistry, Biology | Experiments, practical file, viva | Complete the record by December and revise the theory behind each experiment |
Geography, Psychology | Practical file, map work or experiments | Finish maps and records before the main practicals in February |
Languages, Commerce, Arts | Project or internal assessment | Submit projects on time; these marks are separate from theory |
Theory and practical are passed separately, so treat the practical component as a requirement, not a cushion.
How to Cover the MP Board 12th Syllabus Before February
Weeks 1 to 6 (October to mid-November): finish pending chapters in your main subjects; make one page of short notes per chapter.
Weeks 7 to 10 (to mid-December): revise high-weight chapters and solve chapter-wise questions in the new question style.
Weeks 11 to 14 (to mid-January): take full-length timed papers and previous year papers; keep an error log.
Final phase: revise from notes and the error log, and use the gaps between papers for subject-specific practice.
