CBSE exempts current Class 10 batch from three-language policy

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an important clarification on the implementation of the three-language policy under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, bringing relief to lakhs of students and parents.

The board has confirmed that the revised language policy will not affect the current batch of Class 10 students. It has also clarified that students who are currently studying in Classes 7, 8, and 9 will not be required to appear for a third language paper when they take their Class 10 board examinations.

The announcement comes after confusion among students and families regarding whether the new language rules would apply to those already studying under the existing academic structure.
