>It's still being taught in the NCERT books as well, but now in 12th grade instead of 10th grade.

You're not required to take Chemistry and Biology after the 10th grade, so technically you could miss out on the periodic table and evolution still.

That said, I'm pretty sure I only learned the periodic table in 11th grade Chemistry class myself (15 years ago), so I guess it must've moved down to 10th grade at some point after that?

They're removing streams from the Indian education system. The NEP is making the Indian system much more American and will push for electives and classes instead.

So hypothetically, if I was targeting Medical, I could still take some classes in Commerce at the 10-12 level.

The periodic table is actually already present in 9th grade textbooks.
