Guwahati: The High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) examinations for Class 10 students held each year by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA), will be held in the first week of March 2021. If reports are to be believed, the online form fill up for the exams will take place in November 2020. Candidates will have to submit their forms online from November 2 to 23.
Assam education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has reiterated time and again that the exams for the HSLC (10th) and HS (12th) final year exams would not be deferred in spite of the ongoing pandemic.
Sarma has opined on countless occasions that delaying the exams would create problems for the students in terms of medical and engineering tests. He said that appearing for the exams will be a bit easier for the students as the syllabus has been reduced.
In 2020, the Assam HSLC exam was conducted from February 10 to 29, 2020 in two shifts (morning shift and afternoon shift). The morning shift was held from 9 am to 11 am and the afternoon shift was held from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. Next year's exams too are expected to follow a similar pattern.
