The Minister also appreciated the work put in by the state education board.

"I appreciate the Assam State School Education Board and its entire team, especially Chairman Shri Ramesh Chand Jain and Vice-Chairman Shri Rukma Gohain Barua, for the smooth and timely conduct of the HSLC Exam 2025. ASSEB has become the second board in the country to declare results swiftly--in just 36 days--after Bihar, which did so in 30 days. This prompt declaration will help save valuable academic time by facilitating HS admissions immediately after the Bihu holidays," he said.
