CBSE makes third language compulsory for classes 9-10 from July 1
The CBSE has made the study of a third language compulsory for students in classes 9 and 10 starting July 1, 2026. This requirement includes at least two native Indian languages, although no board examination will be held for the third language at the class 10 level. The decision follows a recent reform initiative aimed at enhancing language education in schools.
