NCERT Books in UP Board
UP Board has adopted NCERT-based textbooks for many subjects in Classes 9 to 12, especially Mathematics, Science and many Intermediate subjects. NCERT concepts and exercises are very important for UP Board students, and many good free NCERT resources can be used for UP Board preparation too. Hindi, Sanskrit and some other subjects follow the board's own prescribed books.
