Supreme Court Extends Three-Language Policy Exemption to CBSE Class 6 Students
The Supreme Court has directed the CBSE to extend the same exemption under its three-language policy to current Class 6 students as granted to Classes 7, 8, and 9. This means Class 6 students must study a third language but will be exempt from the Class 10 board exam in that language, with assessment done internally. The court acknowledged concerns about mid-session changes and implementation challenges, setting mandatory application of the policy from the 2027-28 academic year while allowing transitional relief for the current batch.
