CBSE removes three subjects from Class 10 curriculum for 2028 batch

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced significant changes to its Class 10 curriculum structure, eliminating three subjects from the revised studies scheme. The decision affects students who will appear for their board examinations in 2028 and subsequent batches.

The three subjects being dropped are Individuals in Society, Modules on Computational Thinking (CT) and Artificial Intelligence, and Environmental Education. This revision marks a substantial shift in the board's approach to secondary education, streamlining the subject offerings to focus on core academic areas.

The CBSE's clarification on the revised curriculum scheme comes as part of its ongoing efforts to align educational content with contemporary learning priorities. The board has not provided specific details regarding alternative coursework or how the removal of these subjects will affect students' overall educational framework.

Institutions and educators affiliated with CBSE are expected to implement these changes in their curriculum planning for the 2028 batch onwards. The board is likely to issue further guidelines regarding transitional arrangements and any supplementary educational provisions for the affected subject areas.
