The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has updated the Class 10 Mathematics syllabus for 2025. Along with syllabus changes, certain topics and chapters have been removed to make learning more focused and manageable for students appearing in the upcoming board exams.
CBSE revises the syllabus regularly to:
CBSE has not introduced any major changes to the latest 2025 Maths Class 10 syllabus. Thus, students can refer to the previous year's textbooks and other study material freely. To get a clear idea of which topics are no longer covered in the CBSE Class 10 Maths syllabus, check the table below:
Chapter | Topics |
REAL NUMBERS | Euclid’s division lemma Decimal representation of rational numbers in terms of terminating/non-terminating recurring decimals. |
POLYNOMIALS | Statement and simple problems on division algorithm for polynomials with real coefficients. |
PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES | Simple problems on equations reducible to linear equations. |
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS | No Deletion |
ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS | No Deletion |
COORDINATE GEOMETRY | Area of a triangle |
TRIANGLES | Proofs of the following theorems are deleted:
|
CIRCLES | No Deletion |
CONSTRUCTIONS | Full Chapter Deleted |
INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY | No Deletion |
TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES | Trigonometric ratios of complementary angles |
HEIGHTS AND DISTANCES | No deletion |
AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES | No deletion |
SURFACE AREAS AND VOLUMES | Frustum of a cone Problems involving converting one type of metallic solid into another and other mixed problems. (Problems with combination of not more than two different solids be taken). |
STATISTICS | Step deviation Method for finding the mean Cumulative Frequency graph |
PROBABILITY | No deletion |
Soon after the deletion of topics from the CBSE Class 10 Mathematics syllabus, the NCERT also revised the textbook content. Check the topics that are no longer covered in the NCERT 10th Maths textbook.
