Students appearing for Class X board exams from next year will have to study six subjects instead of five with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) remodelling its assessment scheme. Class X students have to presently study five subjects—two languages, social science, mathematics and science. Students also have a choice of studying a vocational subject as an “additional” course. However, from the 2017-18 academic year, it will be compulsory to study a vocational subject.
