The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has uploaded third‑language textbooks on the CBSE portal, allowing students to download them by selecting class and language.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has made its third‑language textbooks available for free download on the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) portal. The move is part of NCERT's ongoing effort to provide digital resources that support the multilingual curriculum prescribed for classes IX to XII.
Students can access the resources by visiting the CBSE website, selecting the appropriate class, choosing the third language they are studying, and then picking the required textbook from the list. The portal displays a preview of each book and provides a direct download link in PDF format.
The online availability is expected to ease the burden on students and schools, especially in regions where physical copies are scarce. NCERT has confirmed that the books will remain accessible throughout the academic year, with updates to be posted as new editions are released.
