Guwahati: Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed pride over the fact that the HSLC exam 2025 results under ASSEB were declared just 37 days after the exams concluded, terming it a landmark achievement. This swift and efficient result declaration marks a significant departure from past practices, setting a new benchmark for transparency and accountability in Assam’s school examination system, the CM said.

Taking to his official X handle, the CM posted, “This year’s exam marked a pedagogical shift as the entire question paper format was redesigned, focusing on knowledge and concept-based assessment—a break from the rote-learning style seen during SEBA days. Despite this major academic reform, the overall pass percentage was 63.98%, a testament to the adaptability and potential of Assam’s students and teachers under the new system. With a remarkable 71.32% pass percentage, Scheduled Tribes (Plains) students outperformed general category students (63.45%) by a significant margin.”

The CM further said, “The 2025 HSLC results under the newly established ASSEB not only delivered administrative efficiency and academic reform but also marked a resounding success in inclusion and equity. The performance of ST, OBC, and Tea Tribe students is an indicator of rising social mobility. The shift to conceptual and analytical learning represents Assam’s ambition to align its education system with national standards and 21st-century learning goals. This is more than an exam result—it is a renewed vision for educational empowerment and social justice in Assam.”

Welcoming the achievements of the successful candidates in the HSLC exam 2025, AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharjya said, “For those who did not perform in the exam as expected, I appeal to them to not be disheartened but forge ahead with determination.”
