Indian students in the UAE are facing uncertainty after crucial Grade 12 exams were cancelled due to safety concerns from the Iran conflict. Thousands, who rely on these results for university admissions in the UAE, UK, and India, now await alternative grading methods based on past performance. While many express disappointment at losing the chance to prove themselves, they acknowledge safety comes first. Schools are providing support, and options like improvement exams may be available later. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/uae/2026/03/17/uaes-indian-pupils-face-anxious-wait-as-cancelled-exams-put-university-dreams-on-hold/

Ugh, my little sister is in this situation. It's so stressful for her and her friends. They've worked so hard. Hopefully the alternative grading is fair.

Safety is the priority, but my heart breaks for these kids. Their future shouldn't be held hostage by geopolitics.

It's a tough spot. Past performance isn't always a perfect reflection. Glad improvement exams might be an option later.

This is heartbreaking. All that preparation and no final exam to show for it. I hope the schools' support systems are strong enough.
