RBSE Class 12th Chemistry Syllabus 2023: Rajasthan's Board of Secondary Education (RBSE), has published the new and updated syllabus for the 2023 class 12 Chemistry exam.

Chemistry is a core subject in the RBSE class 12 science stream for both medical and non-medical aspirants. Chemistry also comes in handy for those seeking to pursue engineering or doctoral studies.

Chemistry is a fundamental-based subject that involves memorizing and applying a lot of rules and exceptions. Chemistry has two main branches: organic and inorganic. Both are equally important and form a major part of the syllabus. However, other RBSE class 12 chemistry topics are also a must-study to succeed in the 2023 board exams.

On that note, we bring you the new and revised RBSE Class 12th Chemistry syllabus and examination scheme.
