Some schools are reportedly withholding CBSE admit cards for Class X exams, citing poor performance in internal tests. This practice, which prevents students from sitting for their board exams, is causing significant distress to parents. While the CBSE board issues admit cards to all students, schools are allegedly keeping them back. Expert advice suggests filing a written complaint with educational authorities or considering a writ petition to secure the admit card and potentially claim compensation if a student's academic year is jeopardised.
