Makerspace Masters

Kaushal Bodh

What It Is, What It Demands, and How to Get It Right.

A complete guide for school principals and academic directors navigating India's new mandatory skill subject — Classes 6 to 8, effective 2025–26.

Know More

India's First Mandatory Skill Subject. Here's Exactly What It Means for Your School.

Students don't study skills. They build, execute, document, and present real projects. It is not extracurricular. It is assessed.

Mandatory from 2025–26

CBSE, Classes 6–8

110 hours per year

5 periods per week embedded in timetable

9 projects across 3 years

3 per year, 1 per domain, minimum

Infrastructure

Projects across all three domains require physical materials, fabrication tools, growing setups, and digital equipment. A repurposed classroom doesn't qualify.

Facilitation Capability

Teachers must shift from instructor to project guide. CBSE mandates facilitator training. Without it, the subject defaults to a supervised activity period.

Execution Framework

110 hours needs a session plan, portfolio documentation system, and a Kaushal Mela at year-end. That's not something built mid-term from scratch.

Three Domains. Three Years. One Coherent Skill Arc.

Each project runs ~30 hours. Every project is assessed through process documentation, output quality, and reflection — not a final exam.
