Students continue with the subjects chosen in Class 11, moving from foundational principles to advanced application:
| Stream | Core Subjects | Key Conceptual Focus Areas |
| Science (PCM) | Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics | Calculus, Vectors & 3D Geometry, Electrostatics, Optics, Organic & Inorganic Chemistry |
| Science (PCB) | Physics, Chemistry, Biology | Genetics & Evolution, Biotechnology, Human Health & Disease, Organic Chemistry |
| Commerce | Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics | Partnership & Company Accounts, Financial Management, Macroeconomics, Indian Economic Development |
| Humanities / Arts | History, Political Science, Geography, Sociology/Psychology | Modern World & Indian Politics, Human Geography, Social Institutions, Contemporary World History |
Board exams (such as CBSE) follow a 100-mark evaluation system per subject:
Question Paper Composition (Theory):
50% Competency-Focused Questions: Case studies, source-based questions, and applied MCQs.
20% Select Response: Objective-type / Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs).
30% Short & Long Answers: Descriptive, analytical, and structured numerical questions.
Theory vs. Practical / Internal Assessment Split:
Lab Subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, CS, Geography): 70 Marks Theory (3 hours) + 30 Marks Practical & Viva (evaluated by an external examiner).
Non-Lab Subjects (Maths, Accountancy, Economics, BST, Humanities, English): 80 Marks Theory (3 hours) + 20 Marks Project / Internal Assessment.
Passing Criteria: Minimum 33% in aggregate and 33% separately in theory and practical/internal assessments.
Class 12 board preparation runs parallel to undergraduate admissions and national competitive tests:
Undergraduate Degree Admissions: CUET-UG (for central and major state universities like DU, BHU, JNU, and Jamia).
Engineering & Technology: JEE Main, JEE Advanced, BITSAT, and State CETs.
Medical & Healthcare: NEET-UG (MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, Veterinary).
Law & Management: CLAT / AILET (5-year Integrated LLB), IPMAT (IIM Integrated MBA programs).
Finance & Professional Fields: CA Foundation, CS Executive Entrance (CSEET), CMA Foundation.
Defence: NDA / NA Examination (UPSC).
