Assam Students Go To Supreme Court Over Cancellation Of State Board Exams

Recently, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the board exams will happen if the positivity rate in Assam touches below 2 per cent in the first week of July.

A group of students of Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) and Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) have approached the Supreme Court seeking directions for the cancellation of Class 10 and 12 state board examinations in the state. The intervener plea has been filed on the main petition on the board exams that was filed by Anubha Srivastava Sahai. Sources added that at least 5,000 students have signed the petition. Relief has been sought through an application seeking intervention and direction in the writ petition filed earlier before the Supreme Court for cancellation of state board examinations.
