Assam Cancels HSLC, HS Board Exams owing to Covid

The Assam government has cancelled the class 10, 12 state board exams 2021 due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. “The matric and higher secondary examinations for 2021 have been cancelled as the positivity rate due to the prevailing Covid situation is yet to be brought under control,” state  education minister Ranoj Pegu said. Two committees will be formed to decide evaluation criteria for Class 10 and Class 12 students and results will be declared by July 31. “The results will be record-based and not subjective. They will be based on records available with the schools and the boards,” Pegu added.
