CBSE always believes in Global Trends of Educational Transformation. The CBSE
curriculum gets its lead from National Curriculum Framework – 2005 and Right to Free and
Compulsory Education Act – 2009. The aim of CBSE Curriculum is not just to let learners
obtain basic knowledge but to make them life-long learners. CBSE always updates and
reviews the syllabus to make it more relevant with educational transformation and in last
few years the chapters and topics which CBSE has added are very interesting and increase
practical knowledge.
Oswaal Question banks are designed to nurture individuality and thus enhance
one's innate potentials which help in increasing the self-study mode for students. This book
strengthens knowledge and attitude related to subject. It is designed in such a way that
students can set their own goals and can improve their problem solving and thinking skills.
The journey of this book is never ending as this book is reviewed every year and
new questions, previous year's examination questions, new HOTS or any change in
syllabus is updated time to time. Also regular review and reader's feedback increases the
efficiency of this book gradually.
Moreover, every Question Bank strictly follows the latest syllabus and pattern, and
contains more than sufficient questions and brief description of chapters, which help
students in practicing and completing the syllabus. Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
questions, solutions to important NCERT questions and questions from Kendriya
Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) makes this book complete and very efficient. Solutions are
always checked twice and tried to make precise as per marking scheme. Practically, this
book provides students everything they need to learn.
At last we would like to thank our authors, editors, reviewers and specially students
who regularly send us suggestions which helps in continuous improvement of this book
and makes this book stand in the category of “One of the Best”. Wish you all Happy
Learning.
