CBSE has clarified that the third language will not be a Class 10 Board exam subject for students entering Class 9 in 2026-27 under the NEP 2020. However, passing the school-based assessment in the third language will be mandatory to receive the Class 10 pass certificate. Students failing the assessment will be given another opportunity before Board results are declared.
New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has clarified that the third language (R3) will not be included as a Board examination subject in the Class 10 examination for the current batch of Class 9 students.
However, students will be required to successfully clear the school-based assessment in the third language to become eligible for the award of the CBSE Secondary School Examination Pass Certificate.
The clarification has been issued through the Board's implementation guidelines dated July 10 and comes amid ongoing discussions over CBSE's revised three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Under the revised framework, students entering Class 9 in the 2026-27 academic session will study three languages, with at least two of them required to be Bhartiya Bhashas (Indian languages).
