Class 7 is a pivotal year in a student's academic journey. Under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Class 7 falls under the Middle Stage (Classes 6-8), which emphasizes subject-specific learning, critical thinking, and hands-on experimentation. Whether you're following CBSE, ICSE, or the new NCERT curriculum, having a clear picture of the Class 7 syllabus is the first step toward scoring well.
| Subject | New NCERT Textbook | Old NCERT Textbook |
|---|---|---|
| Science | Curiosity | Old NCERT Science |
| Mathematics | Ganita Prakash (Part 1 & 2) | Old NCERT Maths |
| Social Science | New SS (Part 1 & 2) | Old NCERT SST |
| English | Poorvi | Honeycomb |
| Hindi | Malhar | Vasant II |
| Sanskrit | Deepakam | - |
ICSE-affiliated schools teach science as three separate disciplines at Class 7 level - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Students also study Geography as a standalone subject and follow a separate Mathematics Class 7 ICSE curriculum, making the overall syllabus broader compared to CBSE.
