GUWAHATI: Several examinees of the Class X state board examination demonstrated in front of the office which conducts this test in Guwahati, while hundreds of others were staging similar protests in other parts of Assam on Saturday.
With the exam for Modern Indian Languages (MIL) and English due on Saturday cancelled due to leakage of question papers - the second such cancellation within a week in the state for the same reason - hundreds of students, including matric aspirants, continued to protest against the incident.
Nearly a hundred students gathered in front of the Board of Secondary Education, Assam, (SEBA) office here for the second day, raising slogans against the board and the government.
"We want the SEBA chairman to come and meet us so that we can place our issues before him. We will wait till he comes," a student of TC Girls HS School said. Another one from Bhaskar Vidyapeeth added, "We don't understand why the chairman, RC Jain, is afraid to face us. He is sending representatives, but we won't budge till we meet the chairman."
Students from several schools had protested in front of SEBA office on Friday also till late evening. PTI
