Digital Desk: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on
March 6 summoned the SEBA secretary Naranyaran Nath over alleged exam paper
leaks said sources.

According to sources, the secretary of the Assam Board of
Secondary Education (SEBA) has given the board three days to react.

In addition, action will be taken against the centre from which
the question paper was obtained.

As per sources, the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC)
Mathematics test papers were leaked in Assam's Cachar district on March 6.

The paper went viral on the second day of the HSLC exam, shortly
after 15 minutes of the Mathematics exam began.

A few images of the question paper went viral on social media
sites, and the material is alleged to have been leaked from an examination
centre in Lakhipur.

The Cachar Education Department, on the other hand, has yet to
comment on the paper leak issue.

It's worth noting that on the first day of the exam, there were
rumours that the English question paper had been leaked from the Barpeta
region.

In a statement, SEBA secretary and exam controller Nath rejected
the charges, calling media reporting on the subject inaccurate and unjustified.

As many as 4,23,000 students from around the state are taking the
HSLC exam this year, and the exams are being held in accordance with the
National Education Policy requirements (NEP).

As a result, SEBA has made adjustments to four important courses
for the HSLC exams.

According to rumours, SEBA has made various adjustments to the
HSLC exam disciplines like as Mathematics, General Science, English, and Social
Science.

According to the revised NEP standards, these four sections in the
HSLC exam will now have two answer sheets. The first answer sheet will be eight
pages long and will contain objective-type questions, while the second answer
sheet will be 16 pages long and will contain descriptive-type questions.

The HSLC tests will be held in 912 exam centres this year,
beginning on March 3 and concluding on March 20.
