Answer 2

CBSE Syllabus

Almost all schools in India like Kendriya Vidyalaya as well as the Jawahar N Vidyalayas in addition to other private school in the Delhi NCT are affiliated to the CBSE syllabus. The complete syllabus is separated into units. Each unit is then allotted a number of periods that are necessary to cover the portions of an academic year. The weightage marks thus got will be added to the score of the final exams. By this method, the students and the teacher would be able to plan the study of the variety of divisions of the syllabus correctly and efficiently. It is an autonomous body.

State Syllabus

The state syllabus is dependent on the government of that particular State. For each state, a separate education board would be available. The syllabus would then be decided by them as per the normal standards. The mode of instruction of this type of study will include English as well as the regional language.

Key Differentiators between CBSE and State Syllabus

While the CBSE syllabus offers education in a more scientific method, the state syllabus gives more importance to practical implication of related subjects. Another main differentiator amid the two is that, the former is considered much better than the latter. Students of the CBSE have an advantage of the State as the syllabus of the CBSE will be the same all over the nation. In case the students transfer from one state to another, the transition will be marginally easier for them. This would not be similar in case of the State syllabus students. It would be difficult for some to adjust to the syllabus of another Government school.
