The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) has released e-book versions of Class 12 or HS second year textbooks. The board had earlier promoted Class 11 students to the next higher class in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools and colleges in the state are currently closed.
The official notification stated that “At this juncture, it will take time to distribute free textbooks to all the students. Hence, the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council has decided to upload e-books of these subjects, which were used to be distributed by the Govt. freely earlier, so that students of HS 2nd year can start pursuing their next session,”.
Students can download the pdf versions of Class 12 textbooks from the AHSEC website at ahsec.nic.in. The website also hosts question papers of previous years’ exams.
AHSEC had earlier promoted all students to the second year, as it could not conduct exams amid the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Matric or Class 10 final exams conducted by the Board of Secondary Education Assam (SEBA) and HS final year exams had been postponed.
Assam’s schools are currently observing summer vacation, which will continue till June 14.
