In a statement issued on Friday, the board cited the widespread engagement of school teachers in election activities, such as training, polling, and counting, as the primary reason for the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The Panchayat electoral process is scheduled to conclude on May 20, 2025, making it impractical to conduct the remaining exams on time. According to the State Election Commission\u2019s released schedule, teachers across Assam will be busy with various tasks integral to the polling process. ASSEB stated that holding the pending exams would be unwise, given the logistical implications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">However, the board acknowledged that delaying the exams would also create a significant academic disruption to the affected students. To mitigate this, ASSEB has decided to cancel the remaining papers altogether. The notification also clarified that students who had already sat for the March 2025 HS First Year exams will be permitted to sit for the HS Final Examinations in 2026, subject to regular board rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_136895\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-136895\" style=\"width: 1219px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-136895 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=1219%2C639&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1219\" height=\"639\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?w=1219&amp;ssl=1 1219w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=1024%2C537&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=768%2C403&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=750%2C393&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/assamtimespost.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Ex.jpg?resize=1140%2C598&amp;ssl=1 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-136895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000\"><em><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Assam Secondary School Leaving Examination Board (ASSEB) Cancels HS First-Year Exams<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">The move comes after the Assam State Election Commission released the Panchayat election schedule earlier this week.

As the state gears up for the Panchayat elections, one thing is certain: the Assam government\u2019s efforts to balance democratic participation and academic continuity will be closely watched.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) has officially postponed the remaining Higher Secondary (HS) First Year Examinations of 2025 due to the upcoming Panchayat elections in the state.
