Frequently asked questions

How many chapters are there in Nepali?

The Nepali syllabus has 21 chapters, listed in full above. Cover the high-weightage chapters first using the exam pattern as a guide.

How do I know which Nepali chapters carry the most marks?

Compare the chapter list above with the exam pattern and the last few years of question papers — the topics that appear most often and the units with the highest marks are where to focus first. Always confirm weightage against the official syllabus for your exam year.

Has the Nepali syllabus changed this year?

Boards occasionally revise the syllabus or remove topics for a session. Always download the official syllabus for your exact exam year from the official ICSE & ISC portal rather than relying on an older copy or a social-media list.
