In Brief
The Supreme Court disposed of petitions challenging the Central Board of Secondary Education's examination practices. Upon the CBSE's undertaking before the Court, the bench ordered that all future CBSE examinations from 2018 onwards shall use identical question papers for all examinees to ensure uniformity and fairness. The Court also mandated that question papers must be provided in English, Hindi, and other vernacular languages to ensure accessibility for all students regardless of language preference, addressing concerns about examination equity and linguistic inclusion.
