NCERT Class 9 New Textbooks 2026-27: Availability and Buying Guide
NCERT has released the new Class 9 Mathematics textbook and announced the Social Science book for 30 September 2026, with authorised buying options.
NCERT has started releasing the new Class 9 textbooks for the 2026-27 academic session. The new books follow the revised syllabus based on the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023.
The Class 9 Mathematics textbook is now available for purchase. The new Social Science textbook will be available from 30 September 2026. Students, parents, teachers and schools should check the book titles and buy the correct editions before the new session begins. A textbook mix-up can turn a simple school task into a small treasure hunt.
New Class 9 Mathematics textbook available
The new Class 9 Mathematics book is titled Ganita Manjari: Part 2. NCERT has completed its printing, and the book has been available for sale since 21 September 2026.
The book is part of the revised Class 9 curriculum for the 2026-27 session. Schools that follow the updated NCERT syllabus can use this textbook for classroom teaching, homework and assessment preparation.
Students and parents should check the title, part number and session details before placing an order. This is useful because older editions may still be available through bookshops and online sellers.
Social Science textbook to be sold from 30 September
The new Class 9 Social Science textbook is titled Understanding Society: India and Beyond: Part 2. According to NCERT, the book will be available for sale from 30 September 2026.
Once released, students, teachers and schools can buy it through NCERT-approved sales channels. Schools may also share book details with parents, so families can confirm whether they need the full book or any additional school material.
Where can students buy the new NCERT books?
NCERT has advised students, parents, teachers and schools to use its authorised sales channels. The new Class 9 Mathematics and Social Science textbooks can be bought through:
- NCERT sales centres
- The official NCERT website
- Amazon
Buying from these sources can help readers avoid incorrect editions, poor-quality copies or books that do not match the 2026-27 syllabus. Before buying online, check the seller name, book title, part number and publication details.
Why has NCERT revised the textbooks?
The new books have been prepared under the school education changes linked to NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. These frameworks aim to improve how students learn and how schools use the curriculum.
NCERT says the revised textbooks are designed around the changing learning needs of students. They also support schools as they move to the updated curriculum. The changes may affect classroom activities, examples, exercises and the way students build subject knowledge.
For students, this means they should follow the books prescribed by their school for the 2026-27 session. Using an old book along with a new syllabus may cause confusion, especially during tests and school assignments.
What students and parents should check
Before buying the new NCERT Class 9 books, use this quick checklist:
- Confirm the academic session as 2026-27.
- Check the exact textbook title.
- Check whether the book is Part 1 or Part 2.
- Compare the details with the school’s book list.
- Buy from an NCERT sales centre, the official website or Amazon.
- Keep the bill or order record until the school confirms the books.
Students who already have older NCERT books should not discard them at once. First, ask the school whether the old edition will be used for reference or whether the new textbook is compulsory for classroom work.
Teachers can also guide families on the correct edition and inform them about the date on which the Social Science book becomes available. This can help schools avoid delays in classroom planning and help students begin the session with the right study material.
