The results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations were published on Tuesday.
A total of 77.78 percent of candidates passed this year’s examinations across eleven education boards, including nine general education boards.
The results were published simultaneously on the websites of the respective boards and educational institutions.
Last year, the average pass percentage across the eleven boards was 78.64 percent, with a total of 92,365 students achieving GPA-5.
The HSC and equivalent examinations began on June 30, with a total of 1,450,790 candidates participating. According to the initially published schedule, after eight days of exams, all tests scheduled for July 18 were suspended due to the situation created by the quota reform movement. Following this, the government suspended exams in three phases.
A decision was made to conduct exams starting August 11 with a new schedule after the fall of the Awami League government. However, a group of candidates launched a movement demanding the cancellation of the postponed exams. Their claim was that the indefinite suspension of the exams due to the emerging situation had put them under mental stress. Therefore, they insisted that the remaining exams should be canceled. Eventually, in response to the candidates' protests, the postponed exams were canceled.
The education board prepared results based on the scores students received in the SSC examinations. Additionally, if there was no match in division and subject, the Subject Mapping Policy was followed in such cases.
