CBSE Revises Class 10 Curriculum, Adds Vocational Education and Optional Skill Paper
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the Class 10 curriculum and examination structure for students currently in Class 9 (2026-27), effective for the 2027-28 academic year. Environmental Education will be removed from the syllabus, while vocational education becomes compulsory with options for school-based assessment or board exams leading to national certification. Students must take five core subjects, with an optional skill paper that can help pass if they fail in core subjects. Interdisciplinary and AI modules are excluded for these batches.
