The Gujarati students strongly feel that this decision is a violation of their fundamental right of equality and expression. According to the new exam pattern, if an aspirant's medium of instruction at Graduation level is not Gujarati, then he or she shall not be allowed to write exams in Gujarati language.

According to the sources, Among the major changes to be introduced this year are an English language paper, the score of which will be taken into account in the final selection for top jobs.
