Assam HSLC, HS Exams 2021: Final decision on board exams on June 18

The Cabinet recommended not to allow the exams due to the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, says state CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.

The state board will take the final decision on Assam HSLC, HS board exams 2021 on June 18, informed the State Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. Earlier, the CM had said that the board exams will be held from July 15, if the COVID-19 positivity rate goes below two percent.

Several states have cancelled their board examinations amid the Covid-19 pandemic after the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) decided not to hold its class 12 exam. However, Assam Board had decided to conduct exams for only the main subjects.

Meanwhile, students in Assam filed a plea in Supreme Court seeking directions to cancel Class 10 and 12 state board examinations, slated to be tentatively held in the first week of August.

The high school leaving certificate examination for Class 10, held by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam, and the Class 12 final examination conducted by the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council, were scheduled to start in May. The exams were postponed due to the outbreak of the second wave of COVID-19.
