The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced a revised curriculum framework aligned with the *National Education Policy*, to be implemented from the 2026-27 academic session. The cornerstone of this reform is a three-language policy starting from Class 6, requiring students to study at least two Indian languages.
Languages will be categorized as R1 (primary language at advanced level), R2 (second language at different proficiency), and R3 (third language, compulsory from Class 6). The policy will be fully implemented by 2030, with Class 10 students required to pass all three languages.
CBSE has expanded its language offerings to include Dogri, Maithili, Konkani, and Santhali in Class 9, bringing the total to all 22 scheduled Indian languages. Limited exemptions will be granted to students transferring from international schools.
Additionally, the board will introduce a two-tier system for mathematics and science in Class 9, with an optional advanced paper for students seeking higher proficiency.
