Guwahati, March 13: Even as the Board of Secondary Education (SEBA) has cancelled the HSLC Science examination after the question paper allegedly leaked on social media on Sunday, the ongoing budget session of the state legislative Assembly on Monday witnessed a ruckus as the opposition demanded an explanation from the government over the paper leak.

At the same time, student groups and opposition parties hit the streets with protests and rallies.

“General Science examination of the ongoing HSLC examination scheduled for 13/03/2023 has been cancelled by SEBA in view of media reports of leakage of the question paper. Next date will be announced in due course,” Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu tweeted.

The board has not yet announced the new dates for the HSLC examination for the science subject.

Earlier, there were allegations of a Higher Secondary Leaving Certificate or Assam HSLC Exam 2023 paper leak for English and Mathematics, but SEBA never admitted to that.
