The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the revised curriculum for Classes 9 and 10 today through a webinar. The updated curriculum will come into effect from the 2026–27 academic session.
The webinar will be held at the auditorium of CBSE Headquarters, located at the CBSE Integrated Office Complex in Sector-23, Dwarka. It will also be streamed live on CBSE’s official YouTube channel at 3 PM.
The Board has confirmed that the new curriculum aligns with the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education 2023 (NCF-2023). The revised scheme of studies will be implemented for Class 9 from the upcoming academic year.
To explain the changes and provide clarity on the updated structure, CBSE has organised a dedicated webinar for educators and stakeholders. The curriculum document, titled Secondary Part One 2026–27, outlines key reforms and academic guidelines.
In an official circular, CBSE has instructed all affiliated schools to download the complete curriculum for Classes 9 and 10 and share it with teachers and students for immediate reference. Schools have also been advised to make necessary arrangements to ensure smooth implementation in accordance with the new guidelines.
The Board has emphasised strict adherence to the prescribed curriculum and subject-specific instructions. The revised framework reflects the vision of NCF-2023, focusing on competency-based education, experiential learning, flexibility, and holistic development of students.
Additionally, CBSE has urged school heads to sensitise teachers and organise special Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) to inform parents and students about the key changes, ensuring effective implementation from the beginning of the 2026–27 session.
Separately, CBSE has issued a circular regarding the submission of the List of Candidates (LOC) for the Class 10 second board examination. The Board clarified that schools are allowed to collect only the prescribed examination fee during the LOC process.
The notice also highlighted complaints that some schools were demanding additional charges, including three months’ tuition fees, at the time of LOC submission. CBSE has stated that such practices violate its rules and must be stopped immediately. Any unauthorised fee collection will be treated as a serious violation, and schools have been directed to comply strictly with the Board’s regulations.
