AP Inter - All Science 2nd year Syllabus

Understanding the AP Intermediate 2nd Year Science Syllabus for 2025-2026

As students in Andhra Pradesh advance to their 2nd Year Intermediate studies for the 2025-2026 academic year, having a clear grasp of the syllabus is essential for effective preparation. The Andhra Pradesh Board of Intermediate Education (BIEAP) provides a detailed curriculum for each science stream, preparing students for higher education and competitive exams. Here’s a comprehensive look at the 2nd Year Science syllabus across various streams: MPC (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry), BiPC (Biology, Physics, Chemistry), and CME (Computer Science, Mathematics, Economics).

MPC Stream: Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry

1. Mathematics

The 2nd Year MPC Mathematics syllabus builds on 1st Year concepts and includes advanced topics:

Differentiation and Integration: Techniques of differentiation and integration, applications, and theorems.
Three-Dimensional Geometry: Equations of lines and planes, distances, and angles in three-dimensional space.
Vectors: Vector algebra, scalar and vector products, and applications.
Probability and Statistics: Probability distributions, random variables, and statistical measures.
Differential Equations: Solutions and applications of ordinary differential equations.

2. Physics

The 2nd Year MPC Physics syllabus delves deeper into fundamental principles and their applications:

Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Currents: Faraday’s laws, Lenz's law, and applications of alternating currents.
Optics: Interference, diffraction, polarization, and optical instruments.
Modern Physics: Quantum mechanics, atomic models, and nuclear physics.
Electromagnetic Waves: Generation, propagation, and properties of electromagnetic waves.

3. Chemistry

The 2nd Year MPC Chemistry syllabus focuses on more complex chemical concepts:

Chemical Kinetics: Reaction rates, factors affecting rates, and mechanisms.
Thermodynamics: Laws of thermodynamics, enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs free energy.
Electrochemistry: Redox reactions, electrochemical cells, and applications.
Coordination Compounds: Structures, bonding, and properties of coordination compounds.
Organic Chemistry: Advanced organic reaction mechanisms and synthesis.

BiPC Stream: Biology, Physics, and Chemistry

1. Biology

The 2nd Year BiPC Biology syllabus continues to build on foundational topics with more complexity:

Genetics and Evolution: Mendelian genetics, molecular genetics, and evolutionary theories.
Human Reproduction and Development: Anatomy and physiology of human reproductive systems and development.
Ecology and Environment: Ecosystems, environmental issues, and conservation biology.
Biotechnology: Principles, techniques, and applications in biotechnology.

2. Physics and Chemistry

For BiPC students, the Physics and Chemistry syllabi are similar to those in the MPC stream but tailored to support biological sciences:

Physics: Electromagnetic induction, optics, modern physics, and electromagnetic waves.
Chemistry: Chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, and advanced organic chemistry.

CME Stream: Computer Science, Mathematics, and Economics

1. Computer Science

The 2nd Year CME Computer Science syllabus introduces advanced programming and computational concepts:

Data Structures: Advanced data structures like trees, graphs, and hash tables.
Algorithms: Algorithm design, complexity analysis, and advanced algorithms.
Database Management: Basics of database design, SQL, and database applications.
Software Engineering: Software development lifecycle, methodologies, and project management.

2. Mathematics and Economics

The Mathematics syllabus for CME is similar to MPC, focusing on advanced concepts:

Mathematics: Advanced calculus, linear algebra, and applications.

The Economics syllabus covers:

Microeconomics: Detailed analysis of market structures, consumer theory, and production.
Macroeconomics: National income accounting, fiscal policy, and monetary policy.
Development Economics: Economic development, poverty, and growth theories.
