The 2nd year (12th class) smart syllabus 2027 for the Punjab boards is coming soon. PECTAA has not issued the official Grade 12 notification yet (checked 10 November 2026), while the 1st year and 9th class lists were notified on 6 November. Tentative lists for 12th class Chemistry and Mathematics are already circulating, and you can read both below. Treat them as a preview only until PECTAA confirms them.

Tentative 12th class Chemistry smart syllabus
This six-page list follows the same layout as the notified 11th class Chemistry document: chapter by chapter, it names the deleted topics with page numbers and the MCQs, short questions, CRQs and descriptive questions taken out. For example, it drops complex ion formation and the uses of Group 2 compounds (Chapter 17), stereoisomerism and redox reactions of transition metals (Chapter 18), and isomerism and reaction mechanisms in basic organic chemistry (Chapter 19).
Tentative 2nd year Mathematics smart syllabus
The three-page Mathematics list names the excluded examples, exercises and questions unit by unit. In Unit 1 (Graphical Representation of Functions) it removes applications of exponential and logarithmic functions and Exercise 1.5 in full; in Unit 2 (Further Differentiation) it removes local linear approximation, Exercise 2.5 and the real-world extrema examples.
How far to trust the tentative lists
Both files carry a note that they are tentative and that the official notification is still to come. Lists like these can change before they are signed, so use them like this:
- Use them to plan, not to skip. It is fine to move a listed topic to the end of your revision plan. Do not remove it from your preparation until the official list confirms it.
- Check page numbers against your own book. The lists refer to this session’s 12th class textbooks. If your page numbers do not match, you may have an older edition; current books are on our 12th class Punjab textbooks page.
- Compare with the official list when it comes. When PECTAA notifies Grade 12, we will replace the tentative files on this page with the official PDF.
What the 1st year notification tells us
The official 11th class document gives a good idea of the final 12th class one. It covered Urdu, English, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science & Entrepreneurship, Biology and Chemistry, each with deleted topics, a pairing scheme and a model paper. Whole chapters were removed only in a few places, and in the science papers the totals were 85 marks (17 objective, 68 subjective) over 3 hours. Expect the 12th class notification to follow the same pattern, but wait for it before relying on any detail.
Frequently asked questions
When will the official 12th class smart syllabus 2027 come out?
PECTAA has not announced a date. The 9th and 11th class lists were notified on 6 November 2026, and the 10th and 12th class lists are expected in later notifications. This page will be updated the day it is issued.
Are the tentative Chemistry and Maths lists official?
Not yet. They are printed in PECTAA’s format, but each page says the official notification is still to be issued. Use them as a preview.
Where can I check the official notification?
PECTAA posts its notifications on pectaa.edu.pk, and the Punjab boards share them after that.
Does the 2026 smart syllabus for 2nd year still apply?
No. The 2025-26 list was for the 2026 exam. For the 2027 exam, wait for the 2026-27 notification.
