CBSE

The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced that students in Classes 9 and 10 will be required to study three languages from July 1, 2026, as part of the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE) 2023.

Under the revised structure, students will study languages under the R1, R2 and R3 format. The board has clarified that two of the three languages must be Indian languages.

However, CBSE has stated that there will be no Class 10 board examination for the third language, also referred to as R3, during the initial phase of implementation.

What the new language structure means

According to the updated curriculum framework, students will choose three different languages. The same language cannot be selected at more than one level simultaneously.

The board has explained the structure as:

  • R1: Any language offered by CBSE
  • R2: A language different from R1
  • R3: A third language different from both R1 and R2

The move is aimed at promoting multilingual education in line with NEP 2020 recommendations.

No board exam for third language initially

CBSE has clarified that although the third language will become mandatory for Classes 9 and 10, students will not immediately face a board examination for R3 in Class 10.

Reports said the full implementation of the three-language board examination structure is expected to happen gradually over the coming years.

Schools asked to prepare for rollout

The board has already directed schools to finalise language options and upload details on the OASIS portal to ensure smooth implementation of the revised policy.

CBSE has also indicated that temporary textbook arrangements and interim measures for language teacher shortages may be introduced during the transition phase.

NEET Exam

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the NEET UG 2026 re-examination will be conducted on June 21 following the cancellation of the earlier exam amid allegations of a paper leak.

The original NEET UG 2026 examination, held on May 3, was scrapped after investigative agencies flagged concerns regarding the integrity of the exam process. The matter is currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

NTA issues fresh schedule

According to the official announcement, candidates who had registered for the cancelled examination will not be required to submit fresh applications for the re-test. Existing registrations will remain valid for the June 21 examination.

The agency has also advised students and parents to rely only on official NTA communication channels for updates related to admit cards, examination centres and other examination-related notifications.

Paper leak investigation underway

The NEET UG paper leak case has triggered a nationwide probe, with the CBI making multiple arrests in connection with the alleged leak network. Investigators are examining how question papers were allegedly circulated before the examination.

Reports have suggested that handwritten copies of the question paper were allegedly scanned and circulated through messaging networks and intermediaries ahead of the examination.

Students await admit cards and city slips

The NTA is expected to release fresh city intimation slips and admit cards ahead of the June 21 examination date. Candidates have been advised to regularly check the official NEET website for updates regarding examination centres and instructions.
