On a day when the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) released the High School Leaving Certificate (HSCL) results for the year 2023 there have been fake reports circulating that the results for Higher Secondary final exams will also be released today.
In light of that, Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu has clarified that the reports are false and the results for HS final exams will not be released today. He also asked people to not fall prey to such reports.
Taking to Twitter, Ranoj Pegu wrote, "There is a fake news in circulation that HS Final Exam results will be given today. Don’t heed to such fake news."

In 2021, the overall pass percentage was 93.10 per cent. However, that can be accorded to a pandemic hit academic with it being impossible to sit physically for exams and students being promoted based on past performances.
