“A fresh all-India policy has been framed to address the concerns of similarly situated students affected by the cancellation of examinations in the Gulf countries,” Solicitor General (SG) Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), told the court. Mehta further added, “The new policy ensures no student suffers academic loss and can apply for higher studies without delay.”
