AISSEE 2027 Syllabus: What You Actually Need to Study
AISSEE 2027 has 125 questions for Class 6 (300 marks) and 150 questions for Class 9 (400 marks). The exam is based on NCERT, but not every chapter carries the same weight. Some topics appear every year with 4-5 questions. Others show up once in three years.

How to Use This Weightage for Preparation
Do not study every chapter with equal effort. That is a waste of time. Follow this approach instead.
Step 1: Start with the top 3-4 high-weightage chapters in each subject. Finish them first.
Step 2: Solve previous year questions from those chapters. You will see the same patterns repeating.
Step 3: Once you are scoring well in high-weightage topics, move to the medium-weightage ones.
Step 4: Skip low-weightage topics if you are running out of time. The marks-to-effort ratio is not worth it.
| Priority | Chapters | Marks Covered |
|---|---|---|
| Must Do | Top 3-4 per subject | 60-70% |
| Should Do | Next 3-4 per subject | 20-25% |
| Skip if Short on Time | Remaining topics | 5-10% |
