Around 7 lakh students were supposed to take their board exams this year that got cancelled. However, the cabinet was not in favour of conducting the exams.
Education Minister Ranoj Pegu, on June 18, announced the cancellation of Assam HSLC, HS exams 2021. The decision was taken after reviewing the Covid-19 situation and consulting stakeholders. The state will form two committees to decide on the assessment criteria to evaluate students of Class 10 and AHSEC Class 12.
The evaluation criteria will be finalised within a week and results will be declared by July 31, Pegu added.
Nearly 7 lakh Class 10 and Class 12 students were supposed to take their board exams this year that were scheduled to be conducted in July/August.
The Assam Cabinet had earlier this week suggested HSLC and HS exams should not be held considering the Covid-19 situation in the state.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and 18 other state boards had cancelled the Class 12 board exams earlier. Assam students had also filed plea, seeking directions for the cancellation of their board exams.
On June 17, the CBSE submitted its marking scheme for Class 12 students in the Supreme Court, which it accepted. The marks for CBSE Class 12 are to be awarded in the ratio 30:30:40 based on marks scored in final exams in Class 10, 11 and in pre-boards of Class 12 respectively.
The court also issued notice to eight states, including Assam, that were yet to decide on Class 12 exams.
Earlier, the state CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said that the state will conduct the Assam board exams 2021 in mid-July if the Covid positivity rate in the state drops below 2 per cent.
