The Union Government is drafting a major policy to accommodate private Central Board of Secondary Education students abroad who could not sit board examinations because of the Iran war, officials said.
The framework is expected to address result declaration, re-examination windows and transcript authentication for candidates stranded in Gulf states where test centers closed abruptly.
Diplomatic missions have relayed hundreds of parental complaints that students with valid registrations were unable to travel to backup centers as airspace restrictions tightened.
Education Ministry planners said the policy aims to prevent a lost academic year for overseas Indian students without compromising CBSE’s integrity standards.
Diplomatic sources on June 12, 2026 said reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting shipping restrictions remained central to any ceasefire arrangement.
