Supreme Court Asks CBSE to Consider Class 6 Three-Language Policy

The Supreme Court asked the CBSE on September 17, 2026, to consider deferring its three-language mandate for Class 6 students to the next academic session starting in 2027.

Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati informed the Bench that the CBSE will review the suggestion and submit a fresh note on the issue.

The policy aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 and requires students to study three languages, including at least two native Indian languages.
