Guwahati: Examination of the Assam State Council for class XII scheduled in mid-March will frame questions based on complete syllabus but allow some concessions in the form of “easier” alternative questions to help students supported in the second wave of the second pandemic of the year.
About 2.15 lakh students have registered for this year’s examination.
On Thursday, Assam’s secondary education council (AHSEC) ensured a high-level delegation from the Assam Student Union (AASU) which there would be an alternative question on each paper.
However, the class X Council exam, which will be held simultaneously, will be based on a 40% syllabus limited.
“ASSEC officials assured us today that even though the examination would be based on a complete syllabus, there would be many alternative questions.
On each paper.
It will not put students, who cannot learn the entire syllabus due to lack of physical class, in trouble,” Secretary General Aasu, Sankar Jyoti Baru, who heads the delegation, told toi.
In the previous academic session, too, the secondary education council, Assam (Seba) had limited the syllabus.
AHSEC’s decision to include a full syllabus is intended to help students prepare competitive examinations that they must face immediately after the test.
In 2020, after the country was beaten by the first wave of Covid in March, Seba has cut the syllabus for class IX and X students by 30%, while AHSEC also limits the syllabus of class XI and XII with the same percentage.
Because class X pass-out does not need to appear for other medical, technical, and entry tests as soon as the matriculation, the pieces in the syllabus may not affect them.
AHSEC Secretary Patgiri said they would go with a full syllabus so that the exam participants can compete with other board students at the national level.
“If they are not through the entire syllabus, our students will face problems in the exam in the future.
Limiting the syllabus will damage brighter students,” Patgiri said.
He got information that more choices would be given mainly to help students who were mediocre and poor.
