Guwahati: The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) has asked all of the council’s institutions to promote all HS 1st year students who were unable to sit for exams due to unexpected natural disasters during the exam period.
“This is to request to all the Head of the institutions under AHSEC, to promote all the students to HS 2nd year, who had appeared partially or completely or filled up Examination form but not appeared in the examinations, keeping in view the unanticipated natural calamities occurred during the examination schedule and other factors,” an official notification by AHSEC stated on Thursday.
It has also asked the institutions to “upload the marks of students through the site so that Mark-sheets can be issued to the students for future usage.”
The AHSEC had declared earlier in May that the HS first-year tests had been postponed due to flooding and landslides that had interrupted normal life in the state.
The exams were originally scheduled to take place from May 18 to May 21, but were then rescheduled for June.
Floods affected almost 2 lakh people in 20 districts throughout Assam, according to the Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA).
The disaster displaced 1,97,248 people from 652 villages. The 20 districts that were affected by floods are – Bajali, Baksa, Biswanath, Cachar, Charaideo, Darrang, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Dima Hasao, Hojai, Kamrup, Karbi Anglong West, Kokrajhar, Lakhimpur, Majuli, Nagaon, Nalbari, Sonitpur, Tamulpur and Udalguri.
