The interim government will not hold any formal event to announce the results of this year's HSC and equivalent exams, according to education officials.
“The chairmen of the education boards will release the results at 11 a.m. on Tuesday from their respective offices,” said Tapan Kumar Sarkar, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee.
In previous years, the head of the government would formally announce the results of public exams, including the SSC and HSC.
The chairmen of different education boards would hand over the results at a ceremony, which would be attended by the education minister and other officials.
After the ceremony, students would be able to access their results on the websites of educational institutions and via SMS on their mobile phones.
"There will be no such event this year. The media will have access to the statistics related to the exams. We [board chiefs] will hand over the data to journalists," Tapan said.
More than 1.45 million students are awaiting the results of this year's HSC and equivalent exams, which will be released on Oct 15.
Tapan, who is also the chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, said that subjects for which exams were held will be evaluated based on the answer scripts. Meanwhile, subjects which were not assessed will be graded using the subject mapping method based on the students' SSC results, he added.
HOW STUDENTS CAN CHECK THE SCORE
As every year, students will be able to access their scores at educational institutions and online.
The Dhaka Education Board said students will be able to access their results online at www.dhakaeducationboard.gov.bd and www.educationboardresults.gov.bd.
On these websites, students need to navigate to the 'result corner,' select their educational institution, and enter their details.
Additionally, results can be obtained via SMS. To do so, students should send an SMS in the following format: HSC<space>the first three letters of the education board<space>roll number<space>2024 to 16222, and they will receive their results in a reply.
EXAMS HELD ON 7 SUBJECTS
The HSC and equivalent exams for 10 education boards started on Jun 30. However, the Sylhet Education Board’s exams were delayed to Jul 9 due to flooding in the region.
After seven tests were held, schools, colleges and universities were shut indefinitely on Jul 16 amid the spread of violence surrounding the quota reform movement. Initially, the HSC and equivalent exam on Jul 18 was postponed.
As the unrest worsened, the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee delayed all higher secondary exams until Aug 1.
The exams were tentatively set to resume on Aug 4, depending on the political situation. However, they were postponed again due to continued instability.
A subsequent outbreak of violence following the overthrow of the Awami League government led to further delays, with some exam centres being damaged and question papers destroyed.
The postponed exams were then pushed back to Sept 11, with a new schedule released by the authorities.However, many students, uninterested in taking the exams, participated in protests demanding they be scrapped.
Ultimately, the interim government decided to postpone the exams by two weeks, with an abridged question paper.
On Aug 20, over 500 candidates stormed the Secretariat and threatened to boycott the exams if they were not cancelled. That same day, the government acquiesced to their demands and announced that the remaining exams would not be held.
