UK Board Class 11 Biology Syllabus 2023-24: The Uttarakhand Board of School Education (UBSE) Class 11 Biology syllabus covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of biology to the more advanced concepts of physiology and ecology. The syllabus is divided into five units the details of which can be clearly known from the latest syllabus which is mentioned in this article. We have provided here the full syllabus for students to view and download in PDF. This syllabus not only mentions the chapter-wise topics to be covered throughout the year but also mentions the marking scheme, exam pattern, details of practicals and criteria of internal assessment. With all these details, students will be able to plan their studies and exam preparations in an effective manner and secure the desired marks.
