CBSE Books for Class 5 All Subjects — NCERT Directory

Looking for CBSE books for Class 5 all subjects in one place? This page lists the NCERT textbooks for the year — Bansuri, English, Environmental Studies and Maths — and points you to each subject page as it goes live. You can also browse the main NCERT Books directory for other classes.

Each Class 5 subject page lists the textbook for that subject and connects to chapter-wise material once the chapter pages are published. The table below is the fastest way to move from class to subject.

Which Class 5 books are in this directory?

The table lists each indexed subject and its current state. All four Class 5 subject pages are being drafted, so the status column shows Drafting until a page is published.

Reference: NCERT textbooks (CBSE).

What each Class 5 subject page gives you

• Bansuri is the Class 5 English reader in the current NCERT series, so this page follows its chapters and poems in book order.
• English is the subject-level page for the year’s English material, bringing the reader and its supporting study pages together.
• Environmental Studies is the single EVS book that carries both science and social themes for Class 5.
• Maths is the Class 5 mathematics textbook — number work, shapes, fractions, measurement and data.

How the Class 5 NCERT shelf is organised

Class 5 keeps the primary-school shape of the NCERT series: one English reader, one maths book and one combined Environmental Studies book. This page lists 4 subjects; a school’s full Class 5 year can include more.

• One EVS book, not three: science and social themes are combined, so Class 5 has no separate Science book and no separate Social Science book.
• Not every school subject is indexed here: schools also teach other languages, such as Hindi, that are not listed in this directory.
• The shelf changes in Class 6: the combined Environmental Studies area splits into separate Science and Social Science textbooks.

How the subject shelf changes from Class 6

These are the textbook shapes on this page. The chapters in the books and the examinable syllabus are not always identical — the caution below explains what to check.

How to use this Class 5 directory

1. Find your subject in the directory above.
2. When a subject page is live, its name links from the table — open it to see the textbook’s chapters in order.
3. Open the chapter page you need for notes, questions and explanations.
4. Keep the official NCERT PDF alongside for the book text itself.

Every row in the directory is in one of three states:

• Available — published, and linked.
• Drafting — the page exists but is not yet public.
• Not yet built — no page yet.

Textbook contents and the examinable syllabus are not always identical, so check the current official CBSE syllabus before assuming every chapter is examinable this session.

What you will find on each Class 5 subject page

Each subject page follows the same shape, so you know what to expect before you open one. The contents are organised around the NCERT textbook, not around a coaching sequence.

• Chapter-wise index: the NCERT textbook’s chapters in book order.
• Per-chapter study pages: notes, questions and explanations mapped to the NCERT chapters.
• Book-first organisation: the site follows the NCERT textbook, not a coaching order.
• What the pages do not replace: the official NCERT PDF remains the source of the book text.

Subject pages appear here as they go live, and the directory’s status column shows where each one stands.

Sources and data verification

This listing is maintained for the 2026-27 academic session using the NCERT textbook information available to us. NCERT remains the authority for confirming the latest edition.

• Where the figures come from: the NCERT textbook editions on this page. The 4-subject list is rendered from that index, not from the CBSE subject scheme.
• What this page covers and does not: it indexes the Class 5 NCERT textbooks held here (Bansuri, English, Environmental Studies and Maths). It does not list every subject in a CBSE Class 5 year — other languages and school-level subjects are not indexed — and it is not the syllabus.
• Academic session: maintained for the current academic session. NCERT editions can change between sessions, so confirm the current edition with NCERT or the school.
• Which authority settles what: NCERT settles textbooks, editions and official PDFs; CBSE settles the curriculum, syllabus and examinations.

Class 5 book questions, answered

Where can I download Class 5 NCERT books as PDFs?

The official NCERT website (ncert.nic.in) publishes free PDFs of every Class 5 NCERT textbook. Use this directory to see what each book contains, then download the book itself from NCERT.

How many subjects does this Class 5 directory list?

It indexes 4 Class 5 subjects: Bansuri, English, Environmental Studies and Maths. A CBSE Class 5 year can include more because schools also teach other languages, but this directory lists only the subjects it holds.

Does Kendriya Vidyalaya use these Class 5 books?

Yes — Kendriya Vidyalaya schools follow NCERT textbooks, so the books indexed here are the Class 5 books KV students use. Confirm current editions with the school or NCERT before buying.

Is there a separate Social Science book for Class 5?

No. Science and social themes are combined in the single Environmental Studies (EVS) book for Class 5. Separate Science and Social Science textbooks begin in Class 6.

Do these Class 5 textbooks cover the full CBSE syllabus?

The textbooks carry the NCERT material for the year, but textbook contents and the examinable syllabus are not always identical. Check the current official CBSE syllabus for this session to see what is examinable.
