How the List Is Compiled

The book list is prepared after consultation with:

Key Points for Students

1. Mandatory vs. Optional Books

All textbooks listed under Core subjects (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Accountancy, History) are mandatory and will be used for classroom teaching and board examinations. Elective books such as Computer Science Fundamentals or Informatics Practices are required only for students who have opted for those subjects.

2. Availability

The schools oncampus store receives a fresh stock of the listed editions at the start of July. Parents can also purchase the books from:

• Local bookstores in Kottayam district.
• Online retailers such as Amazon, Flipkart, and the official NCERT website.
• Secondhand markets ensure the edition matches the ISBN provided.

3. Supplementary Reading

While the books above satisfy the official curriculum, many teachers recommend additional reference works for deeper understanding:

• Physics H.C. Verma Concepts of Physics (for problemsolving practice).
• Chemistry O.P. Tandon Physical Chemistry (for competitive exams).
• Economics Mankiw Principles of Economics (for enriched perspective).

These are optional and not required for the board exams.

4. Digital Copies

DHSS has partnered with the States eLearning portal. Students with a valid school ID can download PDF versions of NCERT textbooks free of charge. The portal also provides audiovisual aids that align with the printed material.

Why This List Matters

The 202122 book list is more than a purchasing guide. It defines the learning trajectory for the entire academic year. By standardising the material, the school ensures that:

• All students have equal access to the same knowledge base.
• Teachers can coordinate lesson plans across sections.
• Assessment patterns remain consistent with the state boards evaluation scheme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Board exams strictly follow the latest NCERT edition. Using an older version may lead to missing updated diagrams, revised question banks, or new chapters. It is advisable to obtain the 202122 edition.

Q2: What if a book is out of stock?

The schools store maintains a reserve stock, and the administration can place a bulk order directly from the publisher. Parents are encouraged to inform the store early if they face shortages.

Q3: Are there any concessions for economically weaker sections?

Yes. The school works with the States Samagra Shiksha scheme to provide subsidised copies for students who submit the required income certificate. Contact the school office for the application form.
