The report further states that students are not required to appear for all exams. They will be given the choice of papers. Also, all exam invigilators and staff members will be vaccinated first.

Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu said, “We have identified enough exam centres that are outside the flood-prone zones where exams can be held seamlessly. Also, the cases of COVID-19 are also decreasing in the state. So, we are very hopeful," as reported by NDTV.

The decision was taken in the meeting called by the education minister with all stakeholders including student union and parents.

Earlier, Assam Congress President Ripun Bora came forward in support of cancelling the SEBA board exam 2021 for Class 10 and 12. He also wrote a letter to chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma requesting to follow the evaluation scheme in line with the CBSE's internal assessment.
