The Board of Secondary Education Assam (SEBA) cancelled the English board exam in one of the centres in Cachar district. The state’s Minister for Education, Ranoj Pegu, made this announcement on his official Twitter account.
As of now, no new exam date has been announced. According to the official notification shared by Pegu, the English exam has been cancelled after receiving reports from local authorities that some students at a particular exam centre were involved in alleged “dishonest methods during the exam.”
