Assam HS result 2026 declared: Science surges, girls lead, Arts dominates despite dip

The Assam State School Education Board has officially announced the HS result 2026 via its website, ahsec.assam.gov.in, and resultsassam.nic.in, with a pass percentage of 89.79%. Around 3.3 lakh students appeared for the exam. There has been a slight drop in performance in Arts and Commerce streams, but a remarkable improvement in the Science stream.

Overall Assam HS result 2026: Arts remains the largest stream

Art was the largest section in Assam. In the total figure of 2,41,124, around 1,91,798 students scored successfully in the exam, leading to a pass percentage of 79.54%.

The division-wise distribution is:

• First Division: 54,755
• Second Division: 79,181
• Third Division: 57,862

This shows that although many students have achieved first division marks, most of them are in the second division.

Assam HS Science Result 2026: Strongest growth among all streams

Science emerged as the best-performing stream of the year, both in terms of pass percentage and improvement trend.

• Total appeared: 60,667
• Total passed: 54,474
• Pass percentage: 89.79%
• First Division: 34,079
• Second Division: 17,777
• Third Division: 2,618

Compared to the previous year’s decline, Science has shown a sharp rebound, making it the only major stream to record a clear upward trajectory. The performance has been widely viewed as a stabilising factor in this year’s overall academic outcome.

Assam HS Commerce result 2026: Stable but slight dip in performance

Commerce witnessed a slight fall in comparison to last year's performance but continued to maintain a good overall record.

• Total appeared: 19,469
• Total passed: 15,796
• Pass percentage: 81.13%
• First division: 7,787
• Second division: 5,694
• Third division: 2,315

Even though there have been some minor fluctuations over the years, this particular stream has continued to maintain a good first division record.

Assam HS Arts result 2026: Highest participation, moderate decline

Arts was the largest enrolled stream with maximum students appearing for the exam, but this stream saw a small decline in terms of pass percentage.

• Total appeared: 2,41,124
• Total passed: 1,91,798
• Pass percentage: 79.54%

The large enrolment number for this stream makes it very difficult to consistently maintain good academic results year on year.
