The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations for this year may start on 7 June. Education boards have tentatively set this timeframe, although the date has not yet been finalised.
When contacted, a responsible official from the Dhaka Education Board, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Prothom Alo on Tuesday morning, “We have tentatively fixed 7 June as the date to begin the HSC and equivalent examinations. We will now send a proposal to the Ministry of Education. If the Ministry approves, the examinations will commence from 7 June.”
Each year in Bangladesh, approximately 1.2 to 1.3 million (12 to 13 lakh) candidates sit for the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations.
