The HS exam result this time threw up a rare surprise, as no merit list was published by the Assam Higher Secondary Examination Council (AHSEC) for the first time ever. Another surprise is that females performed much better than their male counterparts. The third surprise is that students in the semi-urban and rural areas of the state fared much better than those in urban areas. Yet another fact that emerged as somewhat of a surprise is that private institutions showed better results than government institutes.

With no merit list published this time, the hullabaloo over the HS results was less than previous years, in the media as well as in the institutes themselves.
