HSLC Routine 2026
The Assam State School Education Board, commonly known as ASSEB, came into existence in 2024 through the merger of two major educational bodies – the Board of Secondary Education (SEBA) and the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC). Ever since its establishment, ASSEB has been responsible for organizing the HSLC Examination annually for Class 10 students enrolled in its affiliated schools across the state.
Like every year, the HSLC Examination follows a well-structured exam routine, which is essentially a detailed schedule that tells students when each subject’s exam will be held. This routine is typically released a few weeks ahead of the actual exam dates, giving students ample time to plan their preparation accordingly.
For the upcoming Assam HSLC Examination 2026, the official exam routine has been published on 27 November 2025, and the examination will be held from 10 February 2026 to 27 February 2026.

Important Notes of HSLC Routine
Extra Time: Candidates appearing for the examination are granted five minutes of additional time specifically designated for reading the question paper. This reading time is scheduled from 8:55 AM to 9:00 AM for the morning shift and from 1:25 PM to 1:30 PM for the afternoon shift. During this period, students are expected to carefully review the questions without writing any answers. The Officer-in-Charge at each examination centre is responsible for ensuring the timely distribution of question papers to facilitate this reading time. This arrangement allows students to familiarize themselves with the paper structure and plan their approach before the official examination time begins.
Modern Indian Languages (MIL): The available Modern Indian Languages include Assamese, Bengali, Bodo, Hindi, Manipuri, Hmar, Nepali, Mizo, Khasi, Garo, Kabri, and Urdu.
Elective and In Lieu Language Papers: The examination structure for language subjects differs based on whether candidates are taking them as Elective subjects or In Lieu subjects. For Elective Languages, candidates are allocated three hours to complete the examination. The question paper is structured into two groups—Group A and Group B—and covers languages such as Assamese (E), Hindi (E), Manipuri (E), and Santhali (E). Students who have opted for any of these languages as Elective subjects must attempt both Group A and Group B sections within the given time frame. On the other hand, In Lieu Languages have a shorter duration of two hours. Although the question paper format remains the same with both groups present, candidates appearing for In Lieu Languages are required to answer only Group A. These subjects are designated as Assamese (IL), Hindi (IL), Manipuri (IL), and Santhali (IL), respectively. The completion of Group A alone fulfils the examination requirement for In Lieu Language candidates.
