CBSE Class 12 Psychology chapter-wise weightage
What the 2023–2026 board papers actually asked, chapter by chapter.
CBSE publishes no chapter weightage for Psychology. This is how the marks in the 2023–2026 papers split between chapters.
| Chapter | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self and Personality | 18.6% | 18.6% | 18.6% | 20.0% | 18.9% |
| Variations in Psychological Attributes | 18.6% | 18.6% | 18.6% | 17.1% | 18.2% |
| Psychological Disorders | 17.1% | 15.7% | 14.3% | 17.1% | 16.1% |
| Therapeutic Approaches | 12.9% | 12.9% | 15.7% | 11.4% | 13.2% |
| Meeting Life Challenges | 12.9% | 12.9% | 12.9% | 14.3% | 13.2% |
| Attitude and Social Cognition | 11.4% | 12.9% | 11.4% | 11.4% | 11.8% |
| Social Influence and Group Processes | 8.6% | 8.6% | 8.6% | 8.6% | 8.6% |
How this is counted
From all 136 questions in the 2023–2026 CBSE Class 12 Psychology 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).
