The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) is set to declare the Higher Secondary (HS) Result 2026 on April 28 at 10:30 am, bringing an end to weeks of speculation regarding the Class 12 result schedule. The announcement follows confirmation by Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, who clarified the date after unauthorised notices circulated online caused confusion.
Over 3.3 Lakh Students Await Results
More than 3.3 lakh candidates who appeared for the annual examination across Arts, Science, Commerce, and Vocational streams will receive their scores. The results will be published on official portals, where students can check subject-wise marks, qualifying status, and other details using their roll credentials. The exams were conducted from February 11 to March 16 at 821 centres across the state.
Stream-Wise Candidate Distribution
Approximately 3,30,744 candidates appeared for the Assam HS examinations. Among them, Arts stream had nearly 2.4 lakh students, Science over 55,000, and Commerce around 17,000. The board will declare results for all streams simultaneously. Along with individual scorecards, the board is expected to release stream-wise pass percentages, overall pass rate, and other statistical data. These figures will be closely analysed, especially after last year's overall pass percentage stood at 81.77 per cent.
Comparison with Previous Year Data
In the 2025 session, nearly 2.47 lakh students passed the examination. Science recorded the highest pass percentage at 84.88 per cent, followed by Commerce at 82.18 per cent, Arts at 81.03 per cent, and Vocational at 68.55 per cent. Gender-wise data from last year showed female candidates outperforming male students in all four streams. In Science, female candidates achieved 85.54 per cent against 84.39 per cent for males. Similar comparative data is expected after this year's declaration.
The April 28 result aligns with recent trends: in 2025, the Assam HS result was announced on April 30, while in 2024 it was declared on May 9.
How Students Can Access Scores
Candidates can check their results online once the link is activated at 10:30 am. They will need to enter their roll details to download the provisional marksheet. Original marksheets are expected to be issued later through schools. The board will also provide information on rechecking, photocopies of answer scripts, and compartment procedures after the result declaration.
With the announcement now hours away, attention has shifted from date speculation to the release of one of Assam's largest school examination outcomes.
