Supreme Court to hear Gulf students' plea
The Supreme Court of India is going to hear a case today.
Some students from Gulf countries are upset because their exams were canceled due to a conflict between Iran and the US.
The CBSE, which is the board that conducts the exams, has a plan to assess these students, but the students think it's not fair.
They have asked the Supreme Court to look into this matter.
The court has already agreed to hear their case and has asked the CBSE to respond.
The court will now hear both sides and decide what to do.
The Supreme Court will hear a plea challenging the CBSE's assessment scheme for Gulf students.
The petitioners are 30 regular Class 12 students from Gulf countries.
The CBSE's assessment policy was announced on March 27 due to the Iran-US conflict.
The Solicitor General informed the court that the CBSE would file its response to the petition.
The Supreme Court agreed to examine the petition and issued notices to the Centre and the CBSE.
