The BIE, AP has published new books on physics, chemistry, botany and zoology revised by including 20 per cent of the syllabus of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to previous physics and chemistry texts and 40 per cent to botany and zoology texts. Significantly, for mathematics no revision was made as the state syllabus is more exhaustive than CBSE one.
The second year books are to be revised likewise next year.
The changes have been made in view of the proposed National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and ISEET (Indian Science Engineering Entrance Test) that are to be conducted from next year.
