GUWAHATI, JUNE 8. Altogether 49.79 per cent candidates have come out successful in the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA), the results of which were declared today.

Neog's performance has come as a big boost for government-run schools as the State Government has decided to link financial assistance for these schools to their performance in the HSLC examination.
