The state education department has taken the decision in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). Board examination will not be conducted for Assam Class 10 from next year.

With the announcement of Assam HS Result 2023, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has made another major announcement that Assam HSLC exams will not be conducted from next year. There will be no board exam for Assam Class 10 students from the academic year 2024. The state government will be setting up a single new Assam educational board.

The state education department has taken the decision in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). Board examination will not be conducted for Assam Class 10 from next year. “Matric exams will be held only at the school level. This is being done as per the New Education Policy. A new board will also come up soon. But the employees employed for SEBA will not lose their job,” the chief minister said.

Class 10 exams were conducted by Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and Class 12 board exams were held by Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC). The two state boards will now be merged together, he said.

“The pass and fail system will continue for Class 10 students. However, the board exams will only be conducted for Class 12. Students appearing in Class 10 will not be required to take admission in Class 11 as promotion to the next class will be a continuous process,” the minister added. This year, a total of 4,22,174 students appeared in Assam HSLC Class 10 exams and recorded a pass percentage of 72.69%. Assam HSLC Result 2023 was released on May 22, 2023.
