CBSE Skill Subjects for Class 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12

As we are aware that Practical skills are more important than only theoretical knowledge. Keeping in mind CBSE has introduced Skill Education, where it will introduce skill-based additional subjects in Class 6 - 12. These subjects will cover more skill-based knowledge than theoretical knowledge.

Now you must have a question that what is skill-based education?

Skill education is also called Vocational Education and Training. It prepares learners for jobs that are based on manual or practical activities. It is sometimes referred to as technical education, as the learner directly develops expertise in a particular group of techniques or technology.

CBSE's Skill Education Department has introduced many subjects for different classes under Skill Education. The subject list is as follows:
