The victim, identified as Bhudev, takes physical education classes in the school, a police official said.
The 18-year-old accused has been arrested, he added.
According to police, the victim had in the past scolded the accused over not wearing the uniform properly.
On Thursday, when the teacher pulled up three students on the staircase over the same issue, one of them took out a knife and stabbed him, police said.

Bhudev hails from Rohtak and joined the school only in September last year.
He has a young daughter and his wife is pregnant, police said.
