Assam Board Offers Free Duplicate Certificates to Flood-Affected Students
The Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) announced free issuance of duplicate academic documents for students affected by recent floods in Charaideo, Sivasagar, Jorhat, and Golaghat districts. This relief covers HSLC, AHM, and Higher Secondary certificates, admit cards, marksheets, and registration cards. Applicants can apply online through official portals using a self-declaration instead of a police report. The fee waiver is a temporary measure to ease difficulties for flood-affected students, with no fixed application deadline announced.
