Mrs. Piya Thakur Joint Commissioner (Academics) 5. Sh. Satya Narain Gulia Joint Commissioner (Finance) 6. Sh. N. R. Murli Joint Commissioner (Training) OUR PATRONS KVS Zonal Institute of Education & Training Chandigarh Our aim is to provide such brief study materials and sample papers to the student that not only guides students to the path of success, but also inspires them to recognize and explore their own inner potential.

2 The Board exam preparation is based on three pillars Concept Clarity, Contextual familiarity and Application Expertise. Our innovative and dedicated teaching materials ensure that every student gets a firm grip of each of these pillars so very essential for these arduous preparations. We also understand the importance of CBSE board exam as students' future goal depends upon the performance in board exams. We know that in pandemic situation the students feel a lot of pressure of performance in board exam. It is very important to develop the right exam temperament in students so they can tackle the pressure & surprises easily. In this direction, to release such brief study materials and sample papers will help to the students a lot.

Marking scheme 3 96 INDEX 2 S P Singh, TA Biology, KVS Zonal Institute of Education & Training Chandigarh CLASS XI / XII BIOLOGY (Code No. 044) Syllabus 2021-22 The present curriculum provides the students with updated concepts along with an extended exposure to contemporary areas of the subject.

4 The curriculum also aims at emphasizing the underlying principles that are common to animals, plants and microorganisms as well as highlighting the relationship of Biology with other areas of knowledge. The format of the curriculum allows a simple, clear, sequential flow of concepts. It relates the study of biology to real life through the use of technology . It links the discoveries and innovations in biology to everyday life such as environment, industry, health and agriculture. The updated curriculum focuses on understanding and application of scientific principles , while ensuring that ample opportunities and scope for learning and appreciating basic concepts continue to be available within its framework. The curriculum is expected to: i. promote understanding of basic principles of Biology. ii. encourage learning of emerging knowledge and its relevance to individual and society.

5 Iii. promote rational/scientific attitude towards issues related to population, environment and development. iv. enhance awareness about environmental issues, problems and their appropriate solutions. v. create awareness amongst the learners about diversity in the living organisms and developing respect for other living beings. vi. appreciate that the most complex biological phenomena are built on essentially simple processes. It is expected that the students would get an exposure to various branches of Biology in the curriculum in a more contextual and systematic manner as they study its various units.
