The WBCHSE Class 12 Sociology syllabus provides students with a systematic understanding of society, social institutions, and human behavior. Topics include family, education, religion, economy, polity, social inequality, and development. Students analyze the causes and consequences of social change, globalization, and contemporary social issues. Research methodology forms an essential part of the syllabus, introducing students to data collection, analysis, and sociological interpretation. Project work, case studies, and observational studies help students apply theoretical knowledge to real-world contexts.
WBCHSE Sociology encourages critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and understanding of social diversity. Regular discussions, field visits, and practical exercises develop students’ research and communication skills, preparing them for higher education in sociology, anthropology, social work, and related disciplines.
