HSLC MIL paper including English (IL) rescheduled after question paper leak, new dates announced

PUBLISHED:

The HSLC MIL papers including English (IL) have been rescheduled after news of the question paper leak surfaced.

SEBA has rescheduled the exam of all MIL/English (IL) subjects on 1st April 2023. Earlier, it was scheduled to be held on 18 March 2023.

Taking to Twitter Assam Education Minister Ronoj Pegu said, “SEBA has rescheduled the exam of all MIL/English (IL) subjects on 1st April, 2023. Earlier, it was scheduled to be held on 18 March, 2023.”

The dates were changed after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday ordered the state board of secondary education (SEBA) to cancel the Class 10 or HSLC Assamese (MIL) paper and reschedule it for a later date. 

This was brought to light during interrogation of a previous paper leak case, Sarma said.

“It has been brought to my notice that the arrested accused centre incharge of Luhit Khabalu HS School has, during interrogation, confessed of leaking Assamese paper as well. In view of this, I have advised SEBA to reschedule Assamese exam also,” the minister tweeted.

This year’s Assam board exams have been a subject of controversy. The Class 10 General Science paper was cancelled for all students a day ahead of the exam. The paper will now take place on March 30. The English paper was also cancelled for an exam centre in Cachar, which has been rescheduled to March 28.

Assam Director General of Police GP Singh, after the Science paper leak, said a CID probe has been launched to look into the matter.
