Collection: Self Study Books for Class 9-12 - CBSE, ICSE & ISC Board Exam Preparation

Board exams are not won in the classroom alone. The hours a student puts in independently - revising, practising, and testing themselves - are what make the real difference. At Evergreen Publications, our self study books for Class 9 to 12 are built specifically for that independent work. Each title covers the complete subject syllabus with structured notes, solved examples, and board-pattern practice questions - everything a student needs to prepare thoroughly without depending on a tutor or coaching class.

26 titles across CBSE, ICSE, and ISC boards - covering Science, Mathematics, English, Social Science, Hindi, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Applications. Free delivery across India on every order.
