Centre tells Supreme Court it is mulling policy for West Asia students whose CBSE results could not be declared

The Indian government is considering a new policy to address the academic needs of private students in West Asia whose CBSE exam results were impacted by regional conflicts. Solicitor-General Tushar Mehta informed the Supreme Court that a decision is anticipated soon. This development stems from a plea by a Saudi Arabia-based student who could only take some of his Class 12 improvement exams due to the cancellation of others amidst the U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict. The CBSE had previously issued an assessment scheme to calculate marks for cancelled papers based on internal school assessments. However, the student's results were reportedly withheld, prompting the court's involvement and the government's consideration of a broader policy.

This case highlights the challenges faced by students in conflict zones and the government's efforts to ensure educational continuity and fairness.
