CBSE Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India (KTPI)

After a successful pilot run, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to introduce a new elective course for Std XI. The course known as Knowledge Traditions and Practices of India (KTPI) will be available to students from this academic session under the elective course code no. 073.

CBSE’s circular says that the newly introduced course has “received an overwhelming response from educationists and the teaching community all over India”. It aims to engage students with a sense of exploration and discovery while highlighting the concepts and major achievements in various disciplines of knowledge.

This elective is keeping in line with the board’s endeavour to develop the curriculum in various subjects with a deep focus on values inherent in Indian education system. This focus further takes shape in facilitating knowledge of traditional practices through the course material developed for students.

The various modules of this course have already been put online and a printed book version is currently under process. The board is also preparing a Hindi version of the course. The board has written to principals requesting them to include this elective in their scheme of studies. There are a total of 10 modules being offered by CBSE in this course.
