NCERT Books not mandatory for CBSE Schools says HRD

As per latest information available a notification has been issued by the HRD ministry according to which NCERT Books are not mandatory to be prescribed by CBSE schools. The schools can also prescribe other books which must comply to the prescribed syllabus.

There was a confusion earlier that NCERT books were made compulsory but this notification clears the doubts. Further, there has not been any official notification from CBSE to any of their schools which makes prescribing the NCERT books mandatory. Confirmation has also come from NCERT, NCERT has rectified all factual errors in the NCERT books, all books have been again reviewed and have been correctly updated. This comes in response to the news which came couple of months which stated that there were multiple factual errors in various NCERT books.

Important news for class 10th and 12th Students : Datesheet for class 10 and 12 will be issued next week and the board exams will start on 5th March 2018.
