Tura, March 11: The Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) has announced the cancellation of two Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) examinations in West Garo Hills due to the prevailing volatile situation in the district.
According to an official notification issued from Tura on March 10, the examinations scheduled for March 11, 2026 (Music) and March 12, 2026 (Anthropology) have been cancelled for West Garo Hills district only.
The board stated that the cancelled examinations will be rescheduled on later dates, which will be notified in due course.
However, the notification clarified that HSSLC examinations in all other districts of Meghalaya will continue as per the existing schedule.
The notice was issued by T. R. Laloo, Director of Accreditation and Controller of Examinations, MBOSE, who urged students and authorities concerned to take note of the temporary change.
Officials said the decision was taken to ensure the safety of students and examination staff in the affected district.
Meanwhile, some educationists have flayed MBOSE for the late announcement of the cancellation despite the law and order situation spiralling out of control since Monday.
The notification, although dated 10th March, was allegedly released only this morning, around 8 AM, said one educationist.
