Guwahati, Mar 13 (PTI) The Assam Government on Monday said the general science question paper of the Class 10 state board exam was leaked and the test has been cancelled.
A police case was filed and the CID has been ordered to investigate the matter, Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said.
“Last night, Secondary Education Board, Assam (SEBA) got some clue that today’s paper (general science) has been leaked. Accordingly, the exam was cancelled. The next date will be announced in due course of time,” Pegu told reporters here.
