  3. The text books for the Higher Secondary First and Second year students are now available in digital format. In the changing scenario of present day, as the class rooms becoming hi tech, it becomes necessary to adopt similar changes in the case of text books also. SCERT/NCERT text books are followed in the State syllabus. While the SCERT books are prescribed for some subjects, SCERT Kerala Plus One Textbook pdf NCERT books are followed for certain other subjects. As the class rooms have been elevated to hi tech level, it is also possible to provide visual presentation of text books in class rooms. LCD projector, lap top etc are now available for this purpose. Moreover, SAMAGRA portal is created to share study materials. Higher Secondary first and Second year text books can be downloaded in PDF format for the teachers and the students.
