in5points

  1. CBSE made three languages (R1, R2, R3) compulsory for Classes VI to X from July 1, 2026.

  2. At least two of the three languages must be native Indian languages (Bhartiya Bhashas).

  3. No Class X board exam for the third language (R3); it will be internally examined and recorded in the CBSE certificate.

  4. Current Class X batch is not impacted; Classes VII, VIII, IX won't have board exam in third language.

  5. Phased implementation: Class VI batch 2026-27 will be first to have R3 board exam in 2031.
