The Punjab and Haryana high court has allowed 11 students from a Gurugram school to appear in the Haryana state board Class 10 examination after they missed the CBSE exam due to a technical issue. The court’s order has come as major relief for the students whose academic year was at risk.
The affected students belong to Educrest International School. They could not sit for the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examination because the school’s affiliation was valid only up to Class 8. As a result, CBSE admit cards were not issued to them.
The relief came after the parents of nine students approached the high court last week. The court directed the Haryana Board to explain how provisional admit cards could be issued to the students so that their studies would not suffer.
During the hearing, the court also observed that two other students who were not part of the petition should be given the same benefit, as their academic future was equally important. The state board’s counsel informed the court that admit cards would be issued once the required examination fee is submitted.

Parents of the students expressed relief over the court’s decision. One parent said they had no option but to accept the arrangement, even though the children had prepared throughout the year according to the CBSE syllabus.
Families said the order has at least saved the students’ academic year. The Haryana board examinations for the affected students are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, allowing them to continue their studies without losing a full year.
