I’m not too familiar with Indian education systems. Does anyone have an idea if and how this would affect future JEE exams? I’m specifically referring to the removal of the periodic table for students under 16 years old.

Also, maybe I missed it, but what’s the point of _removing_ the chapters instead of just not _teaching_ them?

The periodic table is actually already present in the 9th grade textbook.

As it stands, they haven't changed the JEE syllabus, so you do have to learn it either way.

Probably just to save paper and make lighter books? Not sure. Back in my day, they'd just ask us to ignore chapters that weren't in the syllabus.
