The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) was established in 2024 through the merger of the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) and the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC). ASSEB is responsible for conducting the HSLC exams for all students in its affiliated schools. SEBA, as part of the merged entity, continues to offer various online application systems.

The Assam HSLC exam pattern 2026, released by SEBA, defines the structure of the question paper. The question difficulty distribution for the HSLC exam is typically 10–20% difficult, 50% moderate, and 20–30% easy questions. Students are advised to solve at least 5–10 years of HSLC previous year question papers per subject.
