AP BIE to Introduce New Syllabus from April 1, 2025: Major Changes Ahead

The Andhra Pradesh government is set to introduce a new syllabus based on NCERT and CBSE guidelines from the 2025–26 academic year. Starting April 1, 2025, junior colleges will begin implementing this updated curriculum to align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The initiative aims to enhance students’ academic standards and better prepare them for national-level competitive exams like JEE and NEET. This comprehensive reform will bring significant changes to the academic calendar, admissions process, and exam preparation across government junior colleges in the state.

The Andhra Pradesh state government is set to implement significant changes in intermediate education from the 2025–26 academic year. Junior Inter colleges will adopt the NCERT syllabus and CBSE framework for their curriculum. The new academic session will commence from April 1, starting with second-year intermediate classes. Admissions for first-year students will begin on April 5. Summer holidays are scheduled from April 23 to June 1.

Alignment with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020
