The teaching of Sociology at the senior secondary stage develops the intellectual acumen of learners to critically understand social structures and processes. It encourages an unfettered and unflinching engagement with issues such as inequality, diversity, and social change. Sociology helps students question assumptions that often circumscribe their understanding of society and fosters appreciation of the inimitable diversity of social and cultural life. By nurturing critical awareness and social responsibility, the subject prepares learners to become thoughtful citizens who contribute to the holistic and progressive development of society.

The teaching of Psychology at the senior secondary stage helps students understand human behaviour, emotions, and mental processes in a systematic and scientific manner. At the foundational level in Class XI, learners are introduced to basic psychological concepts that help them observe and interpret behaviour in everyday life. In Class XII, the study of major psychological theories enables students to connect these concepts with real-life experiences and social realities. Such understanding fosters empathy and sensitivity towards individuals with varied intellectual abilities and backgrounds, encouraging an inclusive classroom environment. It also equips learners with insights that contribute to better self-understanding and the promotion of healthy mental well-being.
