Looking for the NCERT books for Class 4? This page is the Class 4 directory of the NCERT books section, and it covers the four Class 4 titles on this page: Bansuri, Santoor, Environmental Studies and Math Mela. Use the directory below to open the book page your school assigned, then follow the steps to reach the official PDF.
If you are checking the list as a parent, the short answer is: these four titles are the ones covered here for Class 4 this session.
The book list on this page comes from the NCERT textbook editions on this page. NCERT decides what is printed in these books; CBSE decides what is examined from them — so the two lists are not always identical.
The Class 4 NCERT books on this page
The directory below is the one-glance answer to which books, and where do I click. It renders one row per indexed title, with the current status of each book page. Open the row named for the book your teacher assigned — each page carries that book’s official title, chapter list and a pointer to the NCERT PDF.
| Subject | Books | Chapters | Page status |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCERT Class 4 Math Mela | 1 | 15 | Available |
| NCERT Class 4 Santoor | 1 | 13 | Available |
| NCERT Class 4 Bansuri | 1 | 19 | Available |
| NCERT Books for Class 4 Environmental Studies | 2 | 40 | Available |
Where Class 4 sits in the school stages
Class 4 sits in the preparatory stage of the NEP 2020 school structure (5+3+3+4). This stage table is editorial context, not a syllabus claim.
| Stage | Classes | What the books ask of students |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational | Classes 1–2 | Short texts, play-based activities, early literacy and numeracy |
| Preparatory | Classes 3–5 | Class 4 sits here: longer reading passages, more formal maths, subject-wise books |
| Middle | Classes 6–8 | Abstract concepts, subject specialisation, independent reading |
In the preparatory stage, students move from learning to read to reading to learn. That is why Class 4 books carry longer texts and more formal maths than the foundational stage, while still using concrete examples.
How to use these Class 4 book pages
To reach a Class 4 book PDF from this page, follow these five steps:
- Find your book in the directory above — each row names one of the four indexed titles.
- Open that book’s page to see its chapter list and official details.
- Read the chapter list to find the unit your teacher assigned.
- Open the official NCERT website at ncert.nic.in, go to the textbooks section and search the book title to download the current edition PDF. This is the official source for Class 4 textbook PDFs, errata and edition updates.

Class 4 book questions, answered
Where can I download the Class 4 NCERT books as PDFs?
From the official NCERT website at ncert.nic.in. Open the textbooks section, choose Class 4 and select the title you need; NCERT publishes the current edition PDFs there. The book pages in the directory above point to the same source.
Which books does CBSE Class 4 use from this list?
CBSE-affiliated schools commonly use the NCERT Class 4 books on this page, but the exact list is set by the school and the current CBSE syllabus. NCERT decides what is printed in these four titles; CBSE decides what is examinable. Confirm the assigned titles with your school before downloading.
Is the Butterfly book one of the NCERT Class 4 books?
Butterfly is not among the four NCERT titles on this page: Bansuri, Santoor, Environmental Studies and Math Mela. If your school prescribed Butterfly, check the publisher named on its cover — it is a different book. The NCERT list above is the one this directory covers.
How do I know these are the current Class 4 NCERT books?
Check the NCERT website at ncert.nic.in for the current edition of each title, and confirm the list with your school. The listing on this page is kept current from the NCERT information available to us.
Remember that textbook contents and the examinable syllabus are not always identical — the official CBSE syllabus is the final word on what is examined.
Is Class 4 the same as 4th standard?
Yes. Class 4 and 4th standard are two names for the same year of school; different states and schools use different terms. Search either way and you are looking for the same four NCERT titles.
