GUWAHATI: Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) has canceled Higher Secondary 1st year exams. Students will be promoted to Class XII.

The exams were earlier scheduled from March 25 to April 10.

Prime Minister Modi urged people to follow lockdown measures until May 3.

"Friends, keeping all the suggestions in mind, it has been decided that the lockdown in India will have to be extended till 3^rd May. That means until 3^rd May, each and every one of us, will have to remain in the lockdown. During this time, we must continue maintaining discipline in the way we have been doing till now," he said.

"Therefore, we have to be very vigilant about hot-spots. We will have to keep a close and strict watch on the places which run the risk of becoming hot-spots. The creation of new hot-spots will further challenge our hard work and penance. Hence, let us extend the strictness and austerity in the fight against Corona for the upcoming one week," he added.

The lockdown was about to end on April 14.
