Check CBSE Practical Syllabus for Class 12 Physics for the 2022-2023 Session. Download here the list of experiments and projects along with the evaluation scheme for the current academic session.   

CBSE Class 12 Practicals and Project Work forms an important part of the CBSE Class 12 Physics curriculum. Both practicals and investigatory projects together carry 30 marks toward the annual board examination score. The theory paper will be conducted for 70 marks. Therefore, students must pay proper attention to the practical and project work while focusing on the theory part of the CBSE Class 12 Physics subject. We have provided below the CBSE Class 12 Physics Practical and Project Syllabus 2022-2023 in PDF. Go through the full syllabus and check the practical evaluation scheme and know the experiments and project work to be done in the current academic session.
