The Class IX timetable has also been revised to include three periods per week for R3.

English and Hindi are not automatically R1 or R2.
R1, R2, and R3 refer to the three language slots, but R3 has specific eligibility requirements under NEP and CBSE's implementation.
From the CBSE documents issued so far:
R3 is intended to be an additional Indian language (such as Sanskrit or another Indian/regional language offered by the school).
The assessment framework is specifically titled "R3 Language Assessment Framework", but it does not say that English can be R3. Instead, it is meant for the third language introduced under the new policy.
