Delhi's Directorate of Education has revised the Class IX examination and promotion system for the current academic session. Under the new scheme, vocational education (Kaushal Vikas) and a third language (R3) are now mandatory subjects. Students will study six main subjects: Language-1, Language-2, Mathematics, Science, Social Science, and Vocational Education.
The third language will be a qualifying subject, assessed solely at the school level, with a 'Qualified' or 'Not Qualified' designation on the marksheet. Students who fail the third language in Class IX can still advance to Class X if they meet other promotion requirements but must clear the third language assessment in Class X. Two levels of advanced Mathematics and Science have also been introduced for Class IX students, with advanced-level exams covering higher-order thinking skills.
The remaining subjects—Individuals in Society, Art Education, and Physical Education and Well-Being—have been made compulsory with school-based assessment. A student must secure at least 33 per cent in internal and external assessments of each of the six main subjects and 25 per cent in the annual examination to be eligible for promotion.
