Assam CM Announces Extra Marks For HSLC Students In Social Studies

GUWAHATI: In a recent Facebook Live session on March 17, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma spoke about the concerns expressed by HSLC students over the difficulty of the social studies exam. While speaking on the live broadcast, CM Sarma said that numerous students had come to him, seeking extra marks for the subject due to the toughness of the question paper.

Sarma stated, "I have received numerous requests from students asking for extra marks in social studies because the question paper was hard." He further explained that he had consulted with the Chairman of the Secondary Education Board of Assam (SEBA), who confirmed that the examination pattern varies each year, which can lead to unexpected challenges for students.

Considering these concerns, the Chief Minister has formally asked the SEBA board to consider granting additional marks to the students who fared well in their other subjects. This action is taken in order to provide relief to students who might have performed poorly on the social studies exam but scored well in other subjects.

The decision has been greeted with an acceptance by the students and parents as it indicates the government's readiness to tackle education-related issues and assist learners in their studies. Further details regarding the implementation of this decision are expected to be communicated by the SEBA board in the coming days.
