The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that the current Class 10 batch will be exempted from the mandatory three-language policy. The decision comes as a relief to students who were concerned about compliance with the revised curriculum framework. CBSE clarified that the exemption applies only to the ongoing batch, ensuring that students will not face additional academic pressure during their board examinations.
Officials explained that the exemption was granted to maintain fairness, as the current batch had already begun its academic year before the new policy was introduced. The board emphasized that future batches will be required to follow the three-language mandate as part of the National Education Policy’s implementation.
Educationists welcomed the move, noting that it provides clarity and reduces stress for students preparing for their board exams. The exemption is expected to streamline the evaluation process while maintaining focus on core subjects.
