Each board of education in India has its own education pattern (i.e.) it will follow different syllabus, books and exams patterns & dates. Before discussing about the difference between CBSE and State Board Syllabus, we have to know about CBSE and state board education.

CBSE:-

Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a board for the schools under the Union Government of India. It determines the policies and curriculum for the schools in India. This standardized curriculum is mostly preferred by parents who relocate within India due to their job (Central Government).

State Board:-

State Board is a board for schools under the state Government. Each state has its own education board for determining the standard of education and examinations for the schools in that state.

Let’s now discuss about syllabus of CBSE and State Board 

CBSE syllabus:-

• In CBSE, the main focus is given to science, maths and application based subjects. 
  
• Mode of instruction followed in CBSE schools will be English and Hindi. 
  
• All central government schools have to follow guidelines of CBSE.
