Guwahati: Ahead of the Assam Higher Secondary 2nd year examination scheduled to be held from the first week of March 2021 the Assam Higher Secondary Educational Council (AHSEC) is preparing for smooth conduct of the examinations so that there would not be any discrepancies in the examinations.

A meeting in this regard was held in the office of the Assam Higher Secondary Educational Council (AHSEC) on December 31, 2020, where a high-level committee has been formed for conducting the examination smoothly and discussed many important aspects related to the examination.

Speaking to the media Dr. Dayananda Goswami, chairman of AHSEC said," We have been preparing for the examination of the higher secondary 2nd-year examination. We have taken some measures for the smooth conduction of the exam. There were many exam centers earlier which now has been cancelled and we have put some conditions regarding selecting of new exam centers. The exam centers should have proper facility of drinking water, boundary wall, CCTV camera, nearest post office, clinic, etc." The head of the exam center will have to ensure that the exam would be held following all the restrictions and laws, he added.

Dr. Ramesh Chandra Chutia, Secretary of AHSEC said," Since all the educational institutions were closed due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the students did not have proper educational facility and proper classes. Thus the board decided to reduce 30% of the syllabus in the exam around three months back considering the future of the students. However, the educational institutions have been asked to complete the syllabus through online classes if possible."

The higher secondary 2nd-year examination for all three streams- Arts, Science, and Commerce will be held from the first week of March.
