Date – 18th Jun 2021
The state government said on June 18, 2021 there will be no High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) or Class X or Class XII final exams in Assam this year, the decision has been taken after reviewing the COVID-19 situation across the state.
Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said-
The decision to cancel board exams was taken during a meeting chaired by Education Minister Ranoj Pegu and attended by stakeholders, including representatives of All Assam Students’ Union (AASU), and All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU). Around 7 lakh Class X and Class XII students were alleged to take their board exams this year.
The Assam Cabinet had earlier within the week suggested HSLC and HS exams should not be held, considering the COVID-19 situation in the state. Assam's students had also moved the highest court, seeking directions for cancellation of their board exams.
On June 17, 2021 the CBSE submitted its marking scheme for Class XII students within the Supreme Court of India, after which the highest court issued notice to eight states, including Assam, that were yet to make a decision on Class XII exams.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had earlier this month said the two state education boards – Board of secondary education Assam (SEBA) and the Assam Higher secondary education Council (AHSEC) – will conduct the exam in mid-July if the COVID-19 positivity rate in the state drops below 2 percent.
