Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced some major changes in the syllabus for Class 9 and 11 students. The board has announced to discontinue English Communicative from the academic session 2018-19 for class 9. English Communicative was earlier elected by students entering class 9 in CBSE affiliated schools, however, the board has posted circular on its website cbseacademic.nic.in for the schools to not to continue the subjects. In a letter dated March 9, 2018, the board has discontinued two other electives for class 9 students and three for class 11 students.

According to the circular, CBSE has advised the schools not to offer some subjects in the classes for 9 and 11 from the forthcoming session of 2018-19. However, the students pursuing these subjects currently in class 9 and 11 shall continue with them in class 10 and 12 in the session 2018-19, the notice has said. Apart from these, subjects like Information and Communication Technology and e-Publishing and e-office for class 9 are also on the list of discontinuing subjects. For class 11, students from the next session will not be studying subjects like Dance – Mohiniyattam, Multimedia and Web Technology and English Elective – CBSE.



Besides, CBSE has also merged some vocational electives subjects. These subjects include Agriculture, Fashion Studies and Mass Media Studies.
