Physics 9th Class Smart Syllabus 2025–2026 Official PDF
The Punjab Education Department has officially released the Smart Syllabus for 9th Class Physics for the 2025–2026 academic session.
This new syllabus has been prepared under the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) to help students and teachers cover all essential topics in a shorter time before the 2026 annual board exams.
According to the official notice, some parts of the Physics-9 textbook have been excluded to make learning easier without affecting the core scientific concepts.
All Punjab Boards — Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, and D.G. Khan — will follow this updated syllabus.
🎯 Purpose of the Smart Syllabus
The purpose of this ALP Smart Syllabus 2025–2026 is to:
- Ensure students can complete the syllabus on time.
- Remove extra or repetitive topics.
- Focus on core learning concepts needed for higher grades.
- Reduce stress and workload on both students and teachers.
The Physics syllabus now keeps only the main topics necessary for understanding scientific principles while removing lengthy or less-relevant portions.
