The HSLC examination is a crucial exam for students in Assam, as it determines their eligibility for further education and career opportunities. The cancellation of the General Science exam has therefore caused a lot of anxiety and disappointment among the students who were preparing for the exam.
SEBA, however, has taken a responsible and proactive approach to the situation by cancelling the exam and promising to investigate the matter thoroughly. The Board has also assured students and parents that a new date for the examination will be announced in due course.
The cancellation of the General Science exam highlights the need for strict measures to prevent question paper leaks and ensure the integrity of the examination process. Question paper leaks not only give an unfair advantage to some students but also undermine the credibility of the entire examination system.
SEBA’s prompt action in cancelling the exam and investigating the matter is commendable. It shows that the Board is committed to ensuring a fair and transparent examination process for all students. However, the incident also raises questions about the security and confidentiality of question papers and the need for stricter measures to prevent leaks.
In conclusion, the cancellation of the General Science exam of the HSLC examination due to question paper leakage is a matter of concern for students, parents, and education authorities in Assam. SEBA’s decision to cancel the exam and investigate the matter is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to prevent such incidents in the future. The Board must take strict measures to ensure the integrity of the examination process and provide a fair opportunity to all students.
