The CBSE has removed chapters from history and political science syllabus for classes 11 and 12 about the Non-Aligned Movement, the Cold War era, the establishment of Islamic empires in Afro-Asian areas, the chronicles of Mughal courts, and the industrial revolution.

Similarly, the term "effect of globalisation on agriculture" has been removed from a chapter on "Food Security" in the class 10 syllabus. This year, the translated portions from two Urdu poems by Faiz Ahmed Faiz in the section 'Religion, Communalism and Politics - Communalism, Secular State' were also removed. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has also removed chapters on 'democracy and diversity' from the course text.

As to why certain topics or chapters were omitted, officials said the modifications were made as part of the syllabus's rationalisation and were in line with the National Council of Educational Research and Training's recommendations (NCERT).

According to the description in last year's syllabus, the omitted chapter "Central Islamic Lands" in the class 11 history syllabus discusses the establishment of Islamic empires in Afro-Asian areas and their ramifications for economy and society. The chapter focused on the emergence of Islam, the growth of the caliphate, and the construction of empires.

Similarly, the omitted chapter 'The Mughal Court: Reconstructing Histories through Chronicles' in the class 12 history syllabus looked at the chronicles of Mughal courts to reconstruct the Mughals' social, religious, and cultural histories.
