The Supreme Court on September 17 asked the Centre to consider letting current Class 6 students opt out of CBSE's three-language policy for the academic year. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said the suggestion was for student comfort, not a comment on the policy's validity. The CBSE said it will consider the proposal and respond.
Justice Bagchi suggested the policy could become mandatory from January 2027 for students entering Class 6, while current Class 6 students could continue under the old arrangement. Students willing to study three languages now could still do so. Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati told the court the Centre will examine the relaxation. The court will hear the matter again on September 23.
