The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSEB) plays a vital role in providing quality education across the state. Its key responsibilities include designing the syllabus, preparing question papers, and conducting the Class 10 Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examinations.
Class 10 is a turning point in a student’s academic life, as it lays the foundation for higher education and career planning. To succeed in the board exams, students must use the officially prescribed textbooks, solutions, question banks, and blueprints provided by the board. These resources ensure that learners cover the entire syllabus in a systematic manner and prepare effectively for the final exams.
The textbooks form the backbone of exam preparation. They are written in a simple, student-friendly language, making it easy to grasp both basic concepts and advanced applications. For Class 10 (English Medium), the main textbooks include:
Mathematics
Science (combined Physics, Chemistry, and Biology)
Social Science (History, Geography, Political Science, and Economics)
English
Gujarati / Hindi / Sanskrit (as Second Language, if chosen)
Computer (optional)
Each book is structured with chapter-wise lessons, exercises, examples, illustrations, diagrams, and practice questions. These are carefully designed to strengthen understanding and prepare students for board-level problem-solving.
In Class 10, Science is taught as an integrated subject, combining key topics from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
Physics Chapters: Light, Electricity, Magnetic Effects of Electric Current, The Universe.
Chemistry Chapters: Acids, Bases and Salts, Metals and Non-Metals, Coal and Petroleum, Organic Compounds.
Biology Chapters: Nutrition and Respiration, Circulation and Excretion, Reproduction in Organisms, Heredity and Evolution, Our Environment, Management of Natural Resources.
This integrated approach helps students develop a solid foundation for advanced concepts in Class 11 and Class 12 Science.
Mathematics in Class 10 is considered one of the most important subjects. It focuses on logical reasoning, problem-solving, and analytical ability. Textbooks include chapters on Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Statistics, Probability, and Mensuration.
Students are encouraged to practice regularly, as mathematics requires continuous problem-solving for mastery. The textbook includes worked-out examples, practice sets, and exercises of varying difficulty levels, making it a complete learning tool.
The Social Science textbook includes:
History: Nationalism, Industrialization, and Post-Independence India.
Geography: Resources, Agriculture, Industries, and Environmental Issues.
Political Science: Democratic Institutions, Fundamental Rights, Governance.
Economics: Development, Sectors of Economy, Globalization, and Consumer Rights.
This subject helps students understand society, governance, and economy, building awareness of real-life issues.
Alongside textbooks, solutions are available for every subject. These solutions:
Provide step-by-step explanations for mathematics and science problems.
Offer model answers for long and short questions in Social Science and English.
Help students understand the correct way to frame answers in board exams.
Solutions are an excellent tool for self-preparation, revision, and exam preparation.
Question banks are one of the most effective resources for practice. They include:
Previous years’ exam questions
Model test papers designed as per the latest exam pattern
Topic-wise and chapter-wise important questions
Objective questions, short answers, and long answers
Application-based questions in Science and reasoning-based questions in Social Science
Solving question banks regularly improves speed, accuracy, and confidence in exams.
The blueprint provides a clear structure of the exam paper, helping students prepare strategically. It includes:
Unit-wise weightage of marks
Division of long answer, short answer, and objective questions
Marks allotted for diagrams, practical-based questions, and reasoning
Overall time management for each section
By following blueprints, students can prioritize chapters and manage their study plan effectively.
Aligned with the latest 2025–26 syllabus.
Provides conceptual clarity in Mathematics, Science, and Social Science.
Solutions and question banks make preparation more structured.
Blueprints guide exam strategies, making revision focused and effective.
Builds a strong foundation for Class 11 and Class 12 studies.
Encourages both conceptual understanding and practice-based learning.
Class 10 is a milestone year in the academic journey. The knowledge gained here is not only essential for scoring well in SSC exams but also acts as a base for higher education streams (Science, Commerce, Arts). Mastering the Class 10 syllabus ensures smoother progress into Class 11 and prepares students for competitive examinations in the future.
