CBSE Revises Class 9-10 Curriculum, Drops Three Subjects, Makes Vocational Education Compulsory
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has revised the Scheme of Studies for students currently in Class 9 (2026-27), affecting their Class 10 curriculum in 2027-28. The board has dropped three subjects—Individuals in Society, Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence modules, and Environmental Education—from the curriculum for this batch. Vocational education remains compulsory, with students choosing either Kaushal Vikas (internally assessed) or one of 22 skill subjects (board-exam assessed). Five subjects will be compulsory for board exams, with an optional skill paper serving as a safety net for passing.
