The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) on Monday said this year’s Class 10 or High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) and Assam High Madrassa (AHM) final exams will be conducted using question papers and answer booklets printed last year. The decision has been taken to “avoid misuse of natural resources”, the board said.
In 2021, Assam Class 10 and Class 12 board exams were cancelled in view of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As the SEBA did not conduct HSLC/AHM examinations in the year 2021...the question papers and answer booklet prepared in the year 2021 remained unutilised, and are being used for the year 2022,” reads a notification by the state education board.
Concern Over Syllabus
The board further mentioned that question papers of 2021 exams were prepared on the basis of a syllabus which is “strictly in accordance with” the syllabus prescribed for this year’s syllabus.
However, people have pointed out that the syllabi of both the years are different.
Replying to Education Minister Ranoj Pegu, who tweeted the SEBA notification, Bikash Chetia claimed that Geography syllabus of the two years are slightly different.
