discontinue the Skill subject in class XI after studying the Skill
Subject in class IX & X.
• Similarly, any student, who has not studied the Skill subject in
class IX & X, can opt for the Skill subject in class XI & XII.
5. As the Skill Subjects were introduced in all the remaining Govt. schools
during the last year (2023-24), to stabilise/ streamline the already running
Skill/ Vocational Subjects and various related interventions, no new skill
subject will be introduced and no change of skill subject will be allowed
in the current academic year, except (i) consequent upon transfer of PTVT
Or (ii) Introduction of NSQF under Samagra Shiksha in case of 150 schools
approved in the current year. The willing/ needy students may be

the students etc whether to continue the Skill subject in classes IX and
XI or not? It means that the school may or may not continue the skill
subject in the best interest of the students in classes IX and XI. In other
words, it is not mandatory to give skill subject in 9th and 11th but it is
mandatory to carry on in 10th and 12th for the students who have
studied that skill subject in class 9th and 11th respectively.
