- Keep a Copy of the List: The school distributes a PDF version on the official website. Save it on your phone or print a hard copy for quick reference.
- Supplementary Reading: While NCERT textbooks cover the syllabus, reference books help deepen understanding and are useful for competitive exams (JEE, NEET, CUET, etc.).
- Lab Manuals: For Science subjects, the lab manual must be carried to every practical session. Missing it can affect attendance and marks.
