Introduction : MBOSE
Meghalaya Board of School Education (MBOSE) first started in 1973, Headquarters at Tura, to conduct Examination, frame syllabus and evaluation & certification of SSLC Examination for the first time in 1974. Higher Secondary Section was then called as P.U. (Pre-University) and its examination process was handled by NEHU-North East Hills University, head office at Shillong.
But after 1996, when the University (NEHU) discontinued the Pre-University Course, it was taken over by the Board, since then all the financial matters, relating with SSLC and HSSLC branch were being dealt by the Board itself. Due to the increasing number of students per year, the work load is also increased. After 1996, the Board is handling all the academic matters related with framing of syllabus for all the classes, including SSLC and HSSLC.
