In a significant development for students across Assam, the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) has announced a major revision in the academic calendar for the upcoming Higher Secondary final examinations.
Key Changes in Exam Schedule
The Assam Board Class 12 final examinations for the year 2026 will now commence in February 2026, marking a substantial shift from the traditional March-April schedule. This strategic move aims to provide students with additional time for university admissions and competitive exam preparations.
Extended Form Submission Window
Recognizing the importance of this schedule change, SEBA has extended the deadline for online form submissions. Students can now submit their examination forms until November 25, 2025. This extension provides much-needed flexibility for schools and students to complete the registration process without last-minute rush.
What This Means for Students
- Earlier Completion: Exams concluding in February means students get their results sooner
- Better Preparation Time: More time available for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and university entrances
- Reduced Academic Pressure: Spaced-out schedule helps in better preparation and stress management
Examination Pattern Updates
While maintaining the core assessment structure, the board has indicated potential modifications in the question paper pattern to align with the revised timeline. Students should stay updated through official SEBA communications for detailed syllabus and pattern announcements.
Important Instructions for Candidates
- Complete online form submission before November 25, 2025 deadline
- Keep all necessary documents ready including previous mark sheets and identity proof
- Verify all entered information carefully before final submission
