The higher secondary stage is crucial and challenging stage of school education as it is a transition from
general science to discipline-based curriculum. Students take up Physics, as a discipline, with a
purpose of pursuing their future careers in basic sciences or professional courses like medicine, engineering,
technology and studying courses in applied areas of science and technology at tertiary level. There is a
need to provide the learners with sufficient conceptual background of Physics which would eventually
make them competent to meet the challenges of academic and professional courses after the higher secondary
stage.
