What’s official — where to download the routine

- AHSEC (Assam Higher Secondary Education Council) publishes the HS (Class 12) routine and related exam circulars on ahsec.assam.gov.in (Exam Notification / Official Notification sections). Check AHSEC for the HS final routine PDF.
Dates, shifts, and format — quick facts
- Start dates: HSLC (Class 10) — around 10–11 February 2026; HS (Class 12) — 11 February 2026. Different news outlets reported Feb 10 for HSLC and Feb 11 for HS. Confirm by downloading the official PDF from SEBA/AHSEC.
- Exam window (expected): Written papers will run through February–March 2026 (specific last dates differ by board and subject). Some timetables show HSLC exams through late February and HS exams continuing into March.
- Shifts: Assam board exams are commonly held in two shifts — morning (typically 9:00 AM–12:00 Noon) and afternoon (around 1:30 PM–4:30 PM) — especially for HS papers. Check the subject-wise PDF for assigned shifts.
- Duration: Most theory papers are 3 hours unless the timetable/PDF indicates otherwise for specific subjects.
Practical exams & project schedules
- Practical assessments for HS/HSLC are usually scheduled in January (a dedicated practical window is customary). Schools will receive separate instructions on practical dates, examiners, and marks-upload procedures. If your subject has a practical component (science, vocational subjects, arts, music, etc.), watch for your school’s notice.
Form fill-up, admit cards & important admin steps
- Form-fill / registration: SEBA earlier extended the HSLC registration deadline; if you haven’t completed form-fill, confirm with your school now. The SEBA PDF extension noted October 21, 2025 as a last extension for form submission. Schools must complete all entries and fee payments as per board instructions.
- Admit cards / e-admit: Admit cards (or e-admit) will be issued by the boards/schools a few weeks before exams. Students must collect admit cards from their school or follow board instructions for download. Keep originals (ID, photo) ready for exam day.
- Practical marks & documentation: Schools will handle practical marks entry and upload to the board’s portal; retain all lab records and project submissions as proof if needed.
How to read the routine PDF (what to check)
- Check exact date for each subject (do not rely on press summaries). Boards publish subject-wise dates in the routine PDF — verify yours.
- Examination centre details — check for centre code, full address, and reporting time.
- Shift / session for paper (sometimes the same subject is allotted different shifts for different groups).
- Permitted items (pens, stationery, calculators if allowed) and prohibited items (mobile phones, wearables that store data). Follow the admit card instructions.
Exam-day checklist & quick tips (for students)
- Carry the admit card and a valid photo ID. Without the admit card you may be denied entry.
- Reach the centre at least 30–45 minutes early — security and seating arrangements may take time. Know your centre and travel plan a day before.
- Bring required stationery; do not carry mobile phones, calculators (if not allowed), or any unfair-means material.
- Read question papers carefully: allocate time for long answers, short answers, and revision. Attempt all parts you can; mark uncertain answers lightly so you can return during revision time.
- For practicals: be on time, carry lab record book / project work, and wear appropriate clothing (lab coat if required).
Common FAQs (short answers)
- Q: When will the full subject-wise PDF be available?
A: The boards (SEBA, AHSEC) publish the official PDF on their websites — check SEBA’s Notifications and AHSEC’s Examination Notification pages. News feeds will also repost the PDFs; but always cross-verify with the official page. - Q: What if my school missed the SEBA form-fill deadline?
A: Contact your school immediately. Deadlines were extended earlier (to Oct 21, 2025) but late window rules are governed by the board — the school must follow SEBA’s late-registration policy. - Q: When can I expect results?
A: Boards usually declare HSLC and HS results a few weeks after completion of theory papers; AHSEC typically releases HS results in April (exact date will be announced later). Watch official board notifications for the result schedule.
