The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) has announced the class 12 exam date. According to the official notice, the HS exam will be conducted in February-March 2026. The registration process for the High School final exam will begin today, October 22. Eligible candidates will be able to apply until November 25, 2025.

“All Heads of Institutions under ASSEB, Division-II are requested to notify students regarding this schedule so that no eligible student is left out of the form fill up process,” said Ranoj Pegu, Cabinet Minister for Higher Education, School Education, Tribal Affairs, Government of Assam.

Students should note that provisional/offline form fill up will be allowed. Any student who misses the deadline will not be able to appear in the exam. The Registration Number of a student will be valid for 5 years from the date of registration. After this period, special permission is required for re-registration before form fill up. Only students of Permitted Recognised Streams will be considered Regular Students (appearing for the first time in H.S. Final Exam–2026). All others will be Institutional Private (I.P.) candidates and will have to pay I.P. fees.

Re-appearance Scheme, Repeat/ Compartment Students:

A student who passed the H.S. Final Exam 2025 for the first time and wishes to appear again in 2026 under the Betterment Chance / Re-appearance Scheme may apply online without prior permission. They may appear for a maximum of four subjects from their combination in the 2025 exam. Practical exams must be re-taken if applicable. If a higher mark is secured, it will replace the previous mark(s). Only one marksheet will be issued after surrendering the old one. Under the Re-appearance Scheme, a candidate may reappear in all subjects to improve performance for eligibility in Engineering/Medical or other exams. However, better marks obtained in a single subject cannot be added to previous results.

Students whose previous result was ‘Repeat’ (in earlier H.S. exams within registration validity) and whose results were Compartmental in 2025 or earlier may appear in H.S. Final 2026 as Non-Institutional Private (N.I.P.) candidates through online form fill up. Candidates who failed in any subject in H.S. Final 2025 may reappear in 2026 either under Compartmental Category (for the failed subject), or under Repeat Category (for all subjects). Change of scheme after online form submission will not be entertained.
