Expert Tips to Strengthen Your Complaint 💡
We spoke to Dr. Ananya Baruah, an education consultant, for advice:
“Most complaints get rejected due to lack of evidence. Always attach:
- A written explanation of the issue
- Answer script copies (if possible)
- Previous exam records (if applicable)
And follow up every 5 days via email or phone.”
Also, avoid these common mistakes:
Mistake | Better Approach |
---|---|
Vague complaints (“Marks are wrong”) | Specify (“Page 3, Q5 was unchecked”) |
Missing deadlines | File within 15 days of results |
No follow-up | Call/email SEBA weekly |
What If SEBA Rejects Your Complaint? ⚠️
Don’t panic. You can:
- Request re-evaluation (paid process, ~₹500 per subject)
- File an RTI (if SEBA doesn’t respond in 30 days)
- Contact Assam Education Minister’s office (last resort)
Case Study: Priya Sharma’s English marks were 20 less than expected. SEBA initially rejected her complaint, but after RTI filing, they rechecked and updated her score.

Complaint Filing | 15-30 days after results | Free |
