A total of 22,963 students from three districts of Barak Valley (Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi) are appearing this year in 65 examination centers. The Assam Higher Secondary Examinations Council (AHSEC) has informed that each center will have state police official deputed for security reasons. CCTV cameras are also installed in the examination centers to ensure fair proceedings. The Council has also informed that apart from Principal and external invigilator, nobody can use mobile phones or smart watches in the examination hall. Out of the 65 examination centers, the Council has identified six as ‘sensitive’ and has taken special measures for the sensitive centers.

Best of luck to all the students.
