Comparing Old and New NCERTs

Before we delve into the differences between the old and new NCERT books, it's important to note that the choice largely depends on the individual learning style of the aspirant. With that in mind, let's explore the differences:

• Old NCERT books are direct and fact-based. They might seem extensive, but they are excellent for memorizing concepts and facts.
• New NCERT books adopt a more subjective approach, aiming to stimulate the reader's thought process.
• When it comes to history, old NCERTs are more fact-oriented and have fewer diagrams and pictures, which are usually in black and white.
• Old NCERTs are rich in content and maintain a better chronological order of events. New NCERTs, due to their narrative style, may sometimes complicate things.
• NCERT books should be considered as a foundation. For subjects like Geography, Science & Technology, World History and Indian History, NCERT books are the most beneficial.
