This new update aims to make exam preparation easier for students by reducing unnecessary topics and focusing only on the important ones that are expected in exams.
📘 What is the Smart Syllabus?
The Smart Syllabus means a reduced and focused syllabus where selected topics have been retained while others have been deleted. It helps students save time and study more effectively by concentrating on chapters that are more likely to appear in the annual exams 2025-26.
PECTA has released subject-wise short syllabi along with paper pairing schemes and model papers so students can plan their study according to the official structure.
🧩 Purpose of the Pairing Scheme

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
