Among the most important topics, she said, “The Nationalism in India chapter needs to be covered in detail as there are high chances that there will be a 6 or 8 marks question in the exam based on this chapter.” He also adds, “globalisation, economics and consumerism, political parties are also must-dos to secure good marks as these chapters have high weightage.”

Among topics, non-corporation moments and airports and iron and steel plants for maps are also significant topics, the teacher informed.
