Cambridge International announce IGCSE Sanskrit withdrawal. Former students petition to save it.

Dear Colleague
We currently offer Cambridge IGCSE Sanskrit (0499) in our June exam series.
Where a qualification receives consistently lower numbers of entries, as in the case of Cambridge IGCSE Sanskrit, we review it against a range of criteria to determine whether it is feasible to continue offering the qualification.
Cambridge IGCSE Sanskrit does not meet enough of these criteria. We have therefore decided to withdraw the qualification. The last exam will be in June 2027.  
You may want to consider Cambridge O Level Sanskrit (3216) as an alternative. Please note that Cambridge O Level Sanskrit (3216) is only available in the November exam series.
If you are a Cambridge Associate, please share this communication with your centres that make entries for this syllabus.
If you have any questions about these changes, or are interested in offering Cambridge O Level Sanskrit (3216), please contact us at info@cambridgeinternational.org.
We look forward to a continuing and successful working relationship with you and your school.
Best wishes
