Alerts and Updates for CBSE Class 6 Annual Assessment

CBSE has introduced a third language, R3, in Class VI from session 2026-27 under its new Scheme of Studies, notified by Circular Acad-17/2026 dated April 9, 2026 and followed by a compliance circular, Acad-25/2026. Schools were directed to begin teaching the third language from July 1, 2026 without fail.

In its three-language guidelines dated June 29, 2026, CBSE states that for the Class VI 2026-27 batch two of the three languages must be Bhartiya Bhashas, and the third language will become a board-examination subject when this batch reaches Class X. Class VI R3 textbooks are available in all 22 scheduled Indian languages on the NCERT website.

CBSE launched a Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence curriculum for Classes III to VIII on April 1, 2026 through Circular Acad-15/2026, effective in all affiliated schools from session 2026-27. It is internally assessed and builds logical reasoning, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking, digital literacy and ethical use of technology.

Class 6 follows the NCF-SE 2023 aligned NCERT textbooks: Ganita Prakash for Mathematics, Curiosity for Science, Exploring Society for Social Science and Poorvi for English. Reprint 2026-27 editions of all of these are free to download chapter-wise from ncert.nic.in.

Class 6 is an internal school assessment, not a CBSE board exam, so there is no CBSE date sheet, admit card or board result for it. Assessment is school-based and competency-oriented in line with NCF-SE 2023. CBSE circulars affecting the middle stage are posted at cbseacademic.nic.in.
