Assam’s minister for higher education and school education, Ranoj Pegu today issued a clarification that there is no hike in the examination fee of HSLC or Class 10 exam under Secondary Education Board of Assam (SEBA). The structure is the same as it was during last year.

The minister issued this clarification after a certain section of media circulated news of fees being increased, he said in a post on ‘X’.

As per the fee structure, the SEBA fee is Rs 700, centre fee is Rs 350 and practical exam fee is Rs 150, which brings the total to Rs 1200. All BPL students are exempted from paying the fees.

Earlier this year, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma announced that SEBA will not conduct HSLC board exams from next academic year. The madhyamik level exams will be conducted as a class examination. However, Assam HS exams will be conducted in the usual manner annually.
