CBSE Revises Class 9-10 Curriculum, Makes Vocational Education Compulsory for 2028 Exams
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has revised the Scheme of Studies for students currently in Class 9 (2026-27), who will appear for Class 10 board exams in 2028. The changes exclude 'Individuals in Society,' Computational Thinking (CT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) modules, and Environmental Education from the curriculum for these batches. Vocational education is now compulsory, with students choosing either 'Kaushal Vikas' or one of 22 skill subjects, which may include board exams or school-based assessments. Five core subjects remain compulsory, with an optional skill paper serving as a safety net for passing the exam. These revisions do not affect the current Class 10 batch.
