Delhi Revises Class 9 Curriculum to Include Vocational Education and Third Language
The Delhi Government has revised the Class 9 curriculum and assessment system starting from the 2026-27 academic session. Vocational Education and a third language (R3) have been made compulsory, with six main subjects—Language-1, Language-2, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and Vocational Education—determining promotion to Class 10. The third language is a qualifying subject assessed at the school level. Optional advanced-level assessments in Mathematics and Science are also introduced, while new curricular areas like Art Education and Computational Thinking will be phased in over coming years.
