The CBSE Class 9 English Syllabus has been released by the Central Board of Secondary Education.  The CBSE has planned a comprehensive syllabus with weightage to all aspects of language skills – reading, writing, grammar and literature. Students should be well-prepared in all aspects of the English language in order to get a high score. 

Let us see the details of the class 9 English (Language and literature) course syllabus.

CBSE Class 9 Syllabus 2024-25 English (Language and literature)

For students starting a new class, the syllabus acts as a route map. It aids in planning and organisation and provides clear expectations. Students may maximise their learning opportunities by beginning class on the right foot and making informed judgements by being familiar with the syllabus. This is the most important resource for Class 9 students who will be exposed to some ideas of a more advanced level in this new class. Along with the unit-by-unit mark distribution and question paper format, the syllabus explains a chapter-by-chapter list of topics that are required for the yearly assessment. To score well in their examinations, students must follow the directions and criteria outlined in the CBSE syllabus.
