This year, quotas have been allocated for both talent pool and general scholarships. The distribution has been made board-wise, with allocations also set at the upazila level for both categories, in accordance with the relevant policy guidelines.
The Junior Scholarship Examination began simultaneously across the country on 28 December 2025. The exam was held from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Approximately 350,000 students sat the examination at 611 centres nationwide.
On the first day, the Bangla examination was held, followed by English on 29 December and Mathematics on 30 December.
However, following the death of former prime minister Khaleda Zia, the Science and Bangladesh and Global Studies examinations scheduled for 31 December were postponed.
The deferred examinations were later held on 5 January 2026.
Evaluation of answer scripts has since been completed, and the wait for the results ends today.
