CBSE Class 12 Applied Mathematics chapter-wise weightage
What the 2023–2026 board papers actually asked, chapter by chapter.
CBSE publishes no chapter weightage for Applied Mathematics. This is how the marks in the 2023–2026 papers split between chapters.
| Chapter | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calculus | 19.2% | 19.2% | 18.8% | 18.8% | 19.0% |
| Financial Mathematics | 16.7% | 17.9% | 18.8% | 18.8% | 18.0% |
| Numbers, Quantification and Numerical Applications | 14.1% | 14.1% | 13.8% | 13.8% | 13.9% |
| Probability Distributions | 12.8% | 14.1% | 12.5% | 12.5% | 13.0% |
| Algebra | 14.1% | 11.5% | 12.5% | 12.5% | 12.7% |
| Linear Programming | 10.3% | 10.3% | 10.0% | 10.0% | 10.1% |
| Time-based data | 7.7% | 6.4% | 7.5% | 7.5% | 7.3% |
| Inferential Statistics | 5.1% | 6.4% | 6.3% | 6.3% | 6.0% |
How this is counted
From all 148 questions in the 2023–2026 CBSE Class 12 Applied Mathematics papers we hold: every region and set, with a question printed in several sets counted once. A chapter’s share is its marks divided by all the marks of that year’s questions, and the average gives each year equal weight. These are observed shares, not an official CBSE weightage. 2022 is left out: it was the Term-II exam, which covered only part of the syllabus (see the 2022 paper).
