The Board of Secondary Education, Rajasthan has released the RBSE 10th syllabus on the official website. The board does not release a separate syllabus for the RBSE Class 10 half-yearly exam. In fact, it releases the full-year RBSE 10th syllabus, from which the portions covered up to the first week of November are asked in the exam. We have provided the complete 10th RBSE half-yearly syllabus below. Students can confirm with their schools which portion will be included and then prepare for the exam accordingly.
Students should check with their school or teachers to confirm which chapters from the full RBSE Class 10 syllabus have been covered up to the first week of November. According to this, they should pick only those completed chapters from the syllabus, create a study plan, and practise them thoroughly. Since this is the Class 10 half-yearly RBSE exam, the focus should be on revising and preparing the portions completed so far, while the remaining topics can be studied later.
