Cachar College now returns fees of HS exam which was not held due to pandemic

Dec. 13: Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) was supposed to conduct the HS First Year Final Exam, 2020 in the month of April. But due to the pandemic situation followed by nationwide lockdown, the said examination was cancelled and all students were automatically promoted to HS 2nd Year. However, the students had already paid the examination fees to their respective colleges much ahead of the outbreak of the pandemic in the month of December, 2019.

Meanwhile, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) also gave a memorandum to the Principal of Cachar College, wherein they urged upon the college authority to return back the fees collected from the students of HS 1st year for their final exam, which was subsequently cancelled due to the pandemic. Finally, the college agreed to return back the fees after necessary deduction to the students.

In an order issued by Dr. S.S. Nath, Principal of Cachar College, Silchar, it was stated, “It is for the general information of all the students of HS 2nd Yr. (Arts, Science, Commerce) session 2020-2021 that those students who deposited Centre Fee last year in connection with HS Yr. Examination, 2019 are asked to collect their Centre Fee (in return) due to cancellation of the said Examination for COVID-19 pandemic situation from College Cash Counter from 10/12/2020 to 19 /12/2020 (11AM TO 2:30PM). Students have to produce original Money Receipt of HS Yr. Examination 2019 (Fees submission) along with their Identity Card.”

It needs mention here that Radhamadhab College and GC College have already returned the fees of the HS examination which was not held to the students a few days back.
