With a 67.59% pass rate, boys outperformed girls (61.09%). Amishi Saikia of the Pragya Academy Senior Secondary School, Jorhat, secured the top position with 98.50% marks.

The examination was conducted by the Assam State School Education Board, its first. Previously, the Board of Secondary Education, Assam (SEBA) conducted it. Meanwhile, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi attributed the drop in pass percentage directly to the BJP government, saying the results clearly indicated that the government was failing the state's youth. He noted that only 51.89% of Tea Tribe students passed the exam.
