If you are looking for CBSE books for Class 6, the table below is the NCERT textbook set on this page for that class. NCERT publishes the textbooks, and CBSE-affiliated schools such as Kendriya Vidyalayas use them.
The table gives six entries, each with its own page and its status, so you can reach the book you need in one glance. This Class 6 list is one part of the NCERT books directory on this site.
The list shows the NCERT books this directory holds, not the whole CBSE Class 6 subject scheme, so your school’s full book list can include extra language, workbook and activity books.
The Class 6 NCERT book list at a glance
This page lists six Class 6 NCERT books: Kriti I, Poorvi, Ganita Prakash, Science, Social Science and Vocational Education, and the table shows which page is ready to open.
| Subject | Books | Chapters | Page status |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCERT Books for Class 6 Science | 1 | 13 | Available |
| NCERT Class 6 Ganita Prakash | 1 | 11 | Available |
| NCERT Class 6 Poorvi | 1 | 6 | Available |
| NCERT Books for Class 6 Social Science | 1 | 15 | Available |
| NCERT Class 6 Kriti I | 1 | 23 | Available |
| NCERT Books for Class 6 Vocational Education | 1 | 7 | Available |
Here is what each of the six entries gives you:
- Kriti I — a titled Class 6 textbook; its page lists the chapters in order with the key topics of each, so you can find a chapter without scanning the whole PDF.
- Poorvi — the second titled textbook in the set; its page gives the chapter list and a line on what each chapter covers, which is the fast way to confirm where a lesson sits.
- Ganita Prakash — the mathematics textbook in the current Class 6 NCERT set; its page is chapter-wise, with the key topics of each chapter listed for quick navigation.
- Science — one of the three subject pages; it indexes the Class 6 science textbook chapter by chapter, with the main topics of each chapter.
- Social Science — the subject page for social science; it maps the textbook’s chapters and their key topics so you can reach the chapter you need directly.
- Vocational Education — the third subject page; it covers the Class 6 vocational education textbook chapter-wise, showing what each chapter contains before you open the book.
How to use this Class 6 book list
The table is the index. The book pages are the content.
- Find the subject you need in the table above.
- Read that row’s one-line description to see what the book’s page holds.
- Check the status — Available means the page opens; Drafting and Not yet built are named but not linked.
- Open the page and pick the chapter you need — the book pages are chapter-wise.
The three status words on this page are Available, Drafting and Not yet built, and they mean the same thing in the table, in the links and in the text. The status column is explained in the next section.
One honest note: this page does not host PDFs. It indexes the books chapter by chapter, and official downloads are published by NCERT.
What each status means and what a book page contains
The status column in the directory uses three words. This table is the key to them:
| Status | What it means | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Available | published, and linked | open the page now |
| Drafting | the page exists but is not public | named, not linked |
| Not yet built | no page yet | named, marked coming soon |
When a book page is Available, it gives you:
- a chapter-wise list from the NCERT textbook the page indexes;
- the key topics of each chapter;
- the page references from the book.
The six entries split into two groups:
- three carry the book’s own title — Kriti I, Poorvi and Ganita Prakash;
- three are subject pages — Science, Social Science and Vocational Education.
Remember: this page is the index. The official PDFs belong to NCERT.

Common questions about the Class 6 book list
Short answers to the questions that come up most:
How do I download the Class 6 NCERT books as PDFs?
The official Class 6 NCERT book PDFs are published free on the NCERT textbooks page at ncert.nic.in, which is the authority for editions and downloads. This page indexes the books chapter by chapter and does not host the PDFs itself, so NCERT is the direct source for the files.
Where are Honeysuckle, Our Past 1 and The Earth Our Habitat?
Those older NCERT titles are not in this directory. Honeysuckle, Our Past 1 and The Earth Our Habitat belong to the previous edition of the Class 6 set; if your school uses an older edition, follow the book your teacher assigns and check the current CBSE syllabus.
Is this the full CBSE book list for Class 6?
No — this is the list of the NCERT subjects on this page, not the whole CBSE Class 6 subject scheme. Your school’s full book list can include extra language, workbook and activity books beyond what is indexed here.
Are these the Kendriya Vidyalaya Class 6 books?
Kendriya Vidyalayas use the NCERT titles for core subjects, so the books in this table are the right starting point. The school’s complete list can add workbooks and language books beyond what on this page.
Where are the 6th class government books?
This directory lists NCERT textbooks. State government textbook boards publish separate books for state boards, so the government books for your state may come from that board rather than from NCERT.
Can I get the NCERT book list for Classes 7 to 10 here?
This page covers Class 6 only. For other classes, the NCERT textbooks page at ncert.nic.in lists the full set of NCERT books.
