CBSE clarifies R3 rule: Class 10 students of 2027-28 batch must clear school-based third language assessment for pass certificate
CBSE clarified that Class 9 students entering 2026-27 must clear school-based third language (R3) assessment to receive Class 10 pass certificate.
No CBSE Board exam will be conducted for R3; internal school assessment is mandatory for the 2027-28 Class 10 batch.
Students failing R3 assessment in Class 10 must undergo a school reassessment before Class 10 results are declared.
Students unable to clear R3 in Class 9 will be promoted to Class 10 but must complete the pending assessment the next year.
Revised three-language policy requires at least two Indian languages; R3 assessment is part of the implementation.
