This page lists every CBSE Class 9 subject for the 2025-26 session with two links against each one — the chapter-wise syllabus with unit marks, and the sample papers with marking schemes. Subjects are grouped by stream, so you only need to read the group you study.

Class 11 is examined by the school rather than the board, so the papers listed here are CBSE sample question papers. They follow the same blueprint the board uses in Class 12, which makes them the closest practice you can get. Every PDF opens on cbseacademic.nic.in or cbse.gov.in.
