PECTAA has reduced the Mathematics Class 9 syllabus for the 2027 board exams under its Smart Syllabus, also called the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP). Below is every section, example and exercise question removed from each unit of the current Mathematics-9 textbook, followed by the 2027 paper pattern. This page covers the Mathematics-9 textbook, not General Mathematics.
Quick summary
- Unit 8 (Logic) is removed completely.
- The other 12 units stay. Mostly the real-life application sections, some examples and some exercise and review exercise questions are removed.
- The paper is 75 marks, 2 hours 30 minutes.

How to use this for preparation
- Skip Unit 8 (Logic) completely, then cross out the removed sections and exercise questions in the other units.
- Units 3, 4 and 6 give two MCQs each. Units 6, 7 and 9 give three short questions each.
- Units 1 to 6 each have a long-question part in Part II, so prepare all six.
- In Part III you choose one of two questions, so prepare at least one full pair well: units 7 or 10 with 9, or unit 12 with 11 or 13.
