Three official circulars issued in 13 days during April 2026 — introducing a CT & AI curriculum, mandating teacher training, and releasing resource books for Classes 3–8. SynIQ is the digital practice platform built around this exact mandate.
Free for schools & teachers — forever. No procurement, no contract.
Teachers create an account, open a class, and track CT skill gaps at no cost. There's nothing the school must buy — no procurement, no contract, no MoU. Parents subscribe individually only if they want home practice too, and schools that prefer to include every child can ask us about a per-child school licence.
Official CBSE record
Between April 1–13, 2026, the Central Board of Secondary Education issued three separate official communications on Computational Thinking and AI. Each document is publicly available on cbse.gov.in.
CBSE
Acad-15 / 2026
1 April 2026
Formally introduces the Computational Thinking and Artificial Intelligence curriculum for all CBSE-affiliated schools from the 2026-27 session. Applies to every school — NCERT or otherwise.

TRG-02 / 2026
9 April 2026
Mandates District Level Deliberations (DLDs) in every school. All teachers are to be trained across 7 defined sub-themes. A school's training log is expected to reflect this theme.

Acad-18 / 2026
13 April 2026
Releases companion resource books described officially as "following the same chapter sequences" as Mathematics. Discontinues earlier standalone AI course for Class IX — unified curriculum now applies Classes 3–8.

Each SynIQ session runs 15–20 minutes. Time-per-question is tracked automatically.
SynIQ is designed around 6 of the 7. The 7th (Ethics & AI) is on the roadmap.
Foundations of CT and AI Readiness
Core platform — every question tests one of the 4 CT skills with instant feedback
Progressive Pedagogy for CT (Play to Abstraction)
Easy → Medium → Hard per chapter; scaffolded so students build confidence before tackling harder questions
Mathematics as the Cornerstone of CT
Complete question bank mapped to NCERT Maths chapters — same sequence as official resource books
Interdisciplinary CT across Subjects
EVS question bank included at launch; architecture designed for any subject expansion
Assessment and Pedagogy in CT & AI
Per-session CT skill breakdown; retry wrong answers; teacher-visible progress dashboard
AI in Real-World Contexts
Context-scenario questions anchor every session in real-world situations, not abstract exercises
Ethics and Responsible Use of AI
In active development — age-appropriate scenarios on the responsible use of AI, next on our question-bank roadmap
Sub-themes per CBSE Training Notification TRG-02, dated 09.04.2026
From sign-up to insights in minutes
The CT mandate is new. Teacher workload is already high. SynIQ is built to deliver measurable CT outcomes without adding to a teacher's to-do list.
Mobile + OTP, no school approval, no password. Your free teacher account is ready instantly.
A ready-made WhatsApp message and a printable class handout (with QR code) are generated for you — forward or pin them, and parents join in one tap.
As students practise, your dashboard shows class-level accuracy per thinking skill — no marking, no setup.
Every response is auto-scored. Teachers see class-level results without correcting a single paper.
See exactly which skill — Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, Decomposition, Algorithmic — each class struggles with.
Set chapters with due dates; see who has completed them and each student's progress — from first try to best score.
Addresses 6 of the 7 official TRG-02 sub-themes — the platform becomes documented proof for your school's CT training record.
Time-per-question is tracked. Each session log contributes to the CBSE-mandated CT practice hours for Classes 3–5.
Are you a teacher?
Create your free account in 2 minutes. No school approval needed. Get your class join code and start tracking CT progress today.
School-wide rollout
No parent sign-ups needed to get started, no manual data entry, nothing for the school to pay.
Write to us; we verify with your principal and hand your coordinator a school dashboard. No forms, no procurement.
Your coordinator assigns each teacher to their class and subject from one screen — classes are created automatically.
Upload the roster you already have (any usual CSV format). Every child gets a printed card with their own login code + PIN to carry home.
School lab or home — same code and PIN. Progress flows into teacher reports and the school-wide CT report automatically.
Every child starts with 2 free chapters. Families unlock the full year at syniq.in/pay using just the child's code — no parent account needed. Or include every child through a per-child school licence — ask us.
Start your rollout: syniq@sysmindx.com · we verify and set up your admin within a day.
Less prep, better teaching
You don't have to prepare the reasoning yourself. Each question carries a plain-language walkthrough that names the CT skill it builds and explains the wider concept behind the answer — ready to read out in class, project on the board, or send home with students.
It turns every practice question into a teachable moment, with zero lesson-planning time.
Which helper is a mason?
🎯 Trains Decomposition: breaking a problem into smaller, manageable parts.
Break down each task: bricks & cement → a mason; hammering nails → carpentry; planting → gardening; fixing lights → an electrician. A mason works with bricks, stones, and cement to build pathways and walls.
NCF-SE 2023 — the implementation framework
NEP 2020
National policy
NCF-SE 2023
Operational framework · NCERT
All CBSE schools
Any course material · same outcomes
SynIQ
CT practice · same framework
NEP 2020 set the vision. NCF-SE 2023 — the National Curriculum Framework for School Education developed by NCERT — is the concrete implementation guide for all ages 3–18 that every CBSE school must follow. Every course book used in a CBSE school carries this alignment on its cover.
Computational Thinking is defined as a core outcome within NCF-SE 2023. It is a framework-level skill, not a textbook chapter. Pattern Recognition, Abstraction, Decomposition, and Algorithmic Thinking develop the same way whether a student encounters them through a Maths word problem, an EVS scenario, or a real-world situation.
SynIQ question bank uses real-world scenario-based questions that are framework-aligned, not book-specific. Every CBSE school using any NCF-SE 2023-aligned course material can deploy SynIQ immediately — no curriculum mapping or adaptation required.
For principals & coordinators
Beyond regular practice, SynIQ gives school leadership a record of CT progress — and an annual milestone for students to work towards.
One clean, printable document showing your school's Computational Thinking coverage — overall, and broken down by class, section and subject. Evidence you can file, share with your board, or show parents. Dated and ready for your records.
An annual computational-thinking contest for CBSE Grades 3–5. Once a year, students put the four thinking skills they build through regular practice to the test — online, single day, with certificates for all. Aligned to NEP 2020 & the CBSE CT focus.
Why timing matters
The three CBSE circulars were issued between April 1–13, 2026. SynIQ built its CT question bank and practice platform aligned to this curriculum and launched in June 2026 — live and free for any CBSE school to use.
No infrastructure, no app to install, no paper marking. A teacher can have a class practising in a couple of minutes.
