SaralnamaA Class 6 student from Delhi has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against entrance tests for CM SHRI schools. Janmesh Sagar, 11, argues that the tests for Classes 6-8 violate the right to free education and the RTE Act. The Delhi government's circular dated mandated these tests. Janmesh took the test on for the 2025-26 academic year. The petition claims CM SHRI schools cannot be exempt from RTE Act rules banning screening. It asks the court to cancel the entrance tests and use a lottery system instead. Students can apply to the Supreme Court under Article 32 of the Constitution for such cases.
