Assam Education Minister Announces Flood-Related Policy Changes for Students
What happened
The Education Minister, Ranoj Pegu, discussed several student issues with the All Assam Students' Union. Decisions were made to continue free admission for students with arrears, provided they meet attendance and examination requirements. Furthermore, the mandatory 75 per cent classroom attendance rule was relaxed for students affected by floods in Jorhat, Sivasagar, and Charaideo for ongoing semester exams. The government also confirmed that the recruitment process for vacant college teaching posts would begin this month.

Why it matters
These policy adjustments directly affect educational regulations across Assam, particularly in flood-affected regions. The decision to begin recruitment for teaching posts also impacts the civil service hiring process and institutional staffing. The government assured the students' body that demands for fee refunds would be reconsidered.
