It may be mentioned that the rescheduled General Science examination of the HSLC examination in Assam, conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) was held today.

The examination had to be rescheduled in light of the controversy over question paper leak incidents. The question paper of the General Science (C3) subject had reportedly been leaked and was made available to a section of candidates before the exam.

In a swift action following the news, SEBA released a notification informing that the examination was cancelled.
