Yielding to demand of Barak, AHSEC reschedules HS 1st year exam to be held on 19 May

April 18: Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) on 11 April notified that Higher Secondary (HS) First Year Examination- 2022 will be started from the 4 May, 2022 and will end on 28 May, 2022. The exam schedule of HS 1st year was also issued. However, since then, there has been resentment from Barak Valley as per the exam schedule, along with other days, examinations were also to be held on Rabindra Jayanti (10 May) and Bhasa Shaheed Divosh (19 May).

Barak Upottaka Banga Sahitya O Sanskriti Sammelan vehemently opposed this and sent memorandum to the AHSEC which conducts the Higher Secondary examinations. Some other associations also protested as these two days (Rabindra Jayanti & 19 May) are very close to the hearts of the Bengalis.

Finally, in a notification issued by the Controller of Examination of Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) on 18 April, 2022, the examination of HS 1st year which was supposed to be held on 19 May was rescheduled on 31 May, 2022. However, AHSEC did not reschedule the examination on the day of Rabindra Jayanti (10 May). Moreover, the Council also rescheduled the English examination, which was to be held on 4 May. This paper will now be held on 30 May.

The revised notification stated, “Due to some unavoidable circumstances, the programme for the H.S. 1st Year Examination-2022 is partly re-scheduled. As per re-scheduled programme, the examinations of English (Morning Shift) and Bihu**(Afternoon Shift) scheduled on May 04, Wednesday will be held on May 30, Monday and the examinations of Economic Geography/ Music Group B** (Morning Shift) and Mathematics (Afternoon Shift) scheduled on May 19, Thursday will be held on May 31, Tuesday, 2022. The following schedule is given for better confirmation.
