Assam class 12 half yearly English exam 2026-27 underway, check school timetables

The Assam Class 12 Half Yearly English Examination for the 2026-27 academic year is presently being conducted across various schools and districts in Assam. This offline examination, also known as Ardhvaarshik Pariksha or mid-term exam, is a significant assessment designed to evaluate students on the syllabus covered in the first half of the academic year.

The schedule for the English examination is not uniform statewide, with specific dates varying by district and individual school. Students are advised to refer to the timetable provided by their own school or district for precise examination dates. The paper is consistently scheduled for a two-hour duration, from 10 AM to 12 PM.

Examination Structure and Syllabus

The Half Yearly English examination is based on the syllabus covered in the initial half of the academic year and follows an NCERT-based pattern. This makes the question paper relevant for students affiliated with CBSE, Kendriya Vidyalaya (KVS), and various State Boards. The paper typically incorporates a mix of objective (Multiple Choice Questions), short-answer, and long-answer questions to comprehensively assess student understanding.

The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB), formed in 2024 through the merger of the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) and SEBA, is the authority responsible for conducting Higher Secondary final examinations for all affiliated colleges and schools. While ASSEB now conducts the final exams, AHSEC previously released suggestive practical model question papers for Assam HS 2026, with practical exams conducted from January 27 to February 7, 2026. The Assam HS Routine 2026 was released on November 19, 2025, with theory exams commencing from February 11, 2026.

Key Details for the Half Yearly English Exam

The Assam Class 12 Half Yearly English Examination for 2026-27 is an offline assessment. Question papers, answer keys, and solutions will be updated and made available once the examinations conclude. This mid-term assessment is a crucial step in student preparation for the final Higher Secondary Examination, which is a major examination in Assam.

For subjects with internal assessment, theory papers are conducted for 80 marks, requiring 24 marks to pass.
