Supreme Court to Hear Pleas Challenging CBSE Assessment Scheme for Gulf Students
The Supreme Court will hear next week petitions filed by 30 regular Class 12 students from Gulf countries challenging the CBSE's March 27, 2026 assessment scheme, implemented after their board exams were cancelled due to the Iran-US war. The students seek a fair, transparent evaluation method, fresh and improvement exams without subject restrictions, and the option to retain the better result. The CBSE will file its response before the hearing. A separate petition by a private candidate from the Gulf is also under consideration.
