About the CBSE exam
How the CBSE curriculum works in Class 2
CBSE does not publish a separate curriculum document for Classes I to VIII. Schools affiliated to CBSE follow the NCERT syllabus and textbooks, built on NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. Class 2 is the last year of the Foundational Stage: learning stays play-based and activity-based, with a stronger focus on reading fluently, writing sentences and number sense. There is no board examination; assessment is continuous and school-based.
Textbooks and official material
The topics in this table follow the NCERT Class 2 textbooks, which are free to read or download on the NCERT portal.
