On Question asked by student community
The AHSEC 12th Exam is the Higher Secondary (HS) Final Examination conducted by the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council for students in Class 12 across various streams like Science, Commerce, Arts, and Vocational in the state of Assam.
If you missed the Assam AHSEC exam due to genuine medical emergency then you must contact your respective school authorities and talk to the Assam board immediately. Other than that, you will have to submit a medical certificate and an application for proof. After that, the board will decide and might allow you to take the special exam.
Yes, the Assam HS (Higher Secondary) exam will be held in 2025 from February 13 to March 17. Assam HS exams will be conducted in two shifts: morning (9:00 AM to 12:00 PM) and afternoon (1:30 PM to 4:30 PM).
No, students are not allowed to sit for the Assam HS exam without the admit card. The Assam board releases the Assam AHSEC admit card on the official website, ahsec.assam.gov.in, you can login and download it or you can also contact your respective school authorities directly for a replacement.
Hello,
The eligibility for engineering candidates are 1) they must have scored at least 60% in class 12. 2) Candidates must have completed their 12th in science stream with maths, physics and chemistry as a part of their subjects.
You do not need to reappear for all the exams. You can appear only for the subjects that are main in the eligibility for engineering. The main subjects are Physics, Chemistry and Maths. You can appear for these examinations only and also if you are sure that these subjects plus the other subjects included will give you a percentage of more than 60% then you don't have to give any other exam.
I hope this helps,
All the best
