The Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) conducted the Higher Secondary (HS) 2nd year examination from February 11 to March 16, 2026. Students need to achieve at least 30% marks in the theory paper to pass the exam.
To pass the AHSEC HS 2nd year exams, students must secure the minimum required marks in both core and elective subjects. The Assam HS passing criteria is as follows:
The AHSEC HS 2nd year exam is conducted in three streams: Science, Arts, and Commerce, with students required to appear for two core subjects (English and MIL/Alternative English) and three elective subjects from their respective streams.
The fourth elective subject can be chosen as an additional option, though only the best three electives are considered for determining division, rank, and distinctions.
Below is a breakdown of the passing marks required in Assam HS exams for different subjects:
Subject | Total Marks (Theory) | Total Marks (Practical) | Passing Marks (Theory) | Passing Marks (Practical) | Overall Passing Marks |
English | 100 | - | 30 | - | 30 |

AHSEC follows a grading system to evaluate students' performance. Students securing 75% or more in the aggregate are awarded Star Marks, and those obtaining 80% or more in any subject receive Distinction. The grades are assigned based on the percentage of marks obtained. The Assam HS grading structure is as follows:
Percentage Range | Grade |
80% and above | A+ |
60% - 79% | A |
45% - 59% | B |
30% - 44% | C |
Below 30% | D |
If a student fails to secure the minimum required marks in any subject, they may be required to appear for HS compartmental exams, allowing them a second chance to pass.
If any students fail to achieve passing marks in multiple subjects, they will have to repeat the year.
