As per the official notice released, it has been mentioned that, if a student studies three compulsory subjects (Science, Mathematics and Social Science) and also chooses a skill subject (as sixth optional subject), then the aggregate of the best five including two languages (subjects 1 & 2) and the best three (from 3, 4, 5 & 6, including skill subject) can be considered for the calculation of marks/percentage.
Children with Special Needs (CWSN) may opt for one language and any four subjects including the skill subject.
