On Tuesday, the Supreme Court asked CBSE, UGC to make sure that career of around 2 lakh students appearing for the examination is not jeopardized.

The exams for the same are scheduled from the 22nd September till the 29th of September. In the meantime, students requested the court to make sure that the results are published early, as they don't want to miss out on the admission of colleges.
