The results of this year's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations are likely to be published by October 29, following a proposal submitted by education boards to the Ministry of Education to release the results between October 25 and October 29.
A high-ranking official from the Dhaka Education Board disclosed this information on Thursday, noting that public examination results are traditionally published on Thursdays. Since October 29 falls on a Thursday, authorities are eyeing that specific date for the official publication.
Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, confirmed that the proposed timeline of October 25 to October 29 has been forwarded to the ministry. He expressed optimism that a definitive date for the result publication would be finalized and announced by coming Sunday.
The HSC and equivalent examinations for this year commenced on July 2, drawing a total of 1,270,583 regular and irregular candidates across the country. However, education authorities noted that a considerable number of registered students remained absent throughout the examination period.
