Install NowNow, it’s mandatory to study three languages up to class 8 in CBSE schools. What if you have not passed 3 languages in class-8? You can NOT sit in the class 10 Board Exam. Yes, it is true. So, take it seriously. CBSE has applied the mandatory Three Language Formula up to class-8.
What is Three Language Formula?
NEP-2020 suggested three-language formula up to class-8. NEP recommended that all students must study three languages up to class-8. The selection of these three languages is decided by the state education department. However, there is no such provision for classes 9 to 12. Students in 9-12 classes have the choice to continue the third language as an additional subject. But if they don’t want to take a third language in class 9-10 they can take any two languages. And in classes 11-12, they have to take one or two languages and if they wish they can have a third language as an additional subject. For more information, refer to the latest Curriculum Document by CBSE.
CBSE Rule on Third Language
Here is point (d) on page number 20 of CBSE Curriculum Document 2022 for classes 9 and 10:
It is expected that all the students would have studied three languages up to class VIII. Those students who could not clear the third language in class VIII and have been promoted to class IX, shall be examined by the concerned schools at the end of Class IX in the same syllabus and textbooks as prescribed for class VIII. Those who are still unable to clear the third language at the end of class IX may be given another opportunity in class X. No student shall be eligible to appear in the Secondary School Examination of the Board at the end of class X unless she/he has passed in the third language. However, students with disabilities are exempted from the study of third language.
This rule clearly states that if you have not passed three languages in CBSE class-8, you have to pass it in class 9 or class-10. Without this, CBSE will NOT allow you to appear in class 10 board exams. One point that must be noted is students with disabilities are exempted from the study of the third language.

its very bad state like Maharashtra and andhra pradesh, school (cbse) should not hold state languages because many people which comes from foreign countries either study Arabic or French. which is difficult for the student to study and pass. they should at least provide options for such student. If our country does not understand what is the use of Democracy, what is the use of the government in India. when they don’t understand the pains kids have to suffer.

Is it the aim of the government to have more dropouts by introducing the three language policy? Most students have been studying English plus one optional language Indian or foreign right from the pre primary. This sudden change now in the nineth standard is going to make it very difficult for students. It has to be a slow process from fifth standard going upwards.
