The Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) is planning to introduce OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) sheets in the HSLC (High Schools Leaving Certificate) examinations in 2024.
SEBA Planning To Launch OMR Sheets To Evaluate 4 Subjects
Speaking to the media on January 31, Assam Education Minister Ranoj Pegu said, “OMR sheets are in use in all competitive examinations these days. The students of Assam under the SEBA should be OMR sheet-friendly. Taking that into account, for the first time, the SEBA will introduce OMR sheets for half of the questions in the HSLC examinations in 2024. We used OMR sheet question papers as the trial run in the recently concluded Gunotsav.”
According to sources, the SEBA is planning to launch OMR sheets to evaluate four subjects – English, Mathematics, General Science, and Social Sciences.
The SEBA plans to have 45 questions carrying as many marks (credits) that will be based on OMR and each question will carry the same marks. The other questions will be subjective in nature in all these subjects.
