About the CBSE exam
How the CBSE curriculum works in Class 4
CBSE does not publish a separate curriculum document for Classes I to VIII: affiliated schools follow the NCERT syllabus and textbooks, built on NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. Class 4 is part of the Preparatory Stage, where children move from learning to read towards reading to learn, and mathematics grows into fractions, measurement and data. CBSE's Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence curriculum for Classes III-VIII also applies. There is no board examination; assessment is school-based and continuous.
Textbooks and official material
The topics in this table follow the NCERT Class 4 textbooks, which are free to read or download on the NCERT portal.
When it happens
2027 Class 10/12 board subject-wise dates could not be verified in the official notices checked. Classes 1–9 and 11 follow school assessment timetables; ask the school for the next assessment. For board classes, follow CBSE's published final date sheet and your admit card when issued; do not treat expected February dates as confirmed. Status checked 1 November 2026.
Registration and exam-day information
Regular school candidates should confirm registration, subject entries, internal/practical assessments, exam fees, hall tickets and reporting instructions with their school. Exact dates and rules depend on the class and the current board notification.
