Study planner by syllabus marks

Choose a subject and the days you have. The planner shares the days between units in proportion to their marks.

Days mean study sessions for this subject, of whatever length you use.

What the planner does

It takes the marks table of the subject from the CBSE curriculum for 2026-27 and divides your study days in the same proportions. A unit with a quarter of the marks gets a quarter of the days. A share of the days is first set aside for revision and practice papers; a fifth is a sensible default. Each unit, however small, gets at least one day, and the days always add up to the number you typed.

What it does not know

It does not know which units you find hard, which you have already finished, or which chapters depend on others. Treat the table as a first draft. Shift days from units you are sure of to those you are not, and put the units in a sensible order. Where the Board gives marks for a group of units together, the planner keeps the group together too, since nobody can say how the marks will be split inside it.

Tips

The reasoning behind the method, with a worked example, is in the guide planning study time by weightage.

Questions people ask

How does the planner divide the days?

In proportion to the marks of each unit in the theory paper, after setting aside the share of days you choose for revision. Every unit gets at least one day.

Can I change the result?

Yes, and you should. Marks show importance, not difficulty. Move days towards the units you find hard.
